Default Question of the Century: To Authenticate or Not?

Hey guys, you are the experts so I value your opinion and advice.

My question is when it comes to TPA such as PSA, Is it better to get autographs authenticated and slabbed? Below are the Pros and Cons I came up with but would love to hear your opinion/advice on this.(Im talking about PSA as Im not a big fan of JSA or GAI)

Pros

Slabs offer protection for cards

If I was to resale or leave my collection to my kids they will have better resale value and no question about authenticity when they go to sell them


Cons

Heavy to store (try putting 100-200 psa slabs in a box and lift it!)

If PSA has a major scandal, all those authenticated slabs are worthless

Hard to view these in an album, as the pages/albums get heavy when you have too many slabs in an album.
