I agree.  The less touching the fork leg, the better.  Any large surface area will trap moisture and grit.  Just one days riding can scratch the surface, leading to wear & rust.  I'd just stick to fork sliders, anything which gets through is not trapped against the surface, grinding away.  The surface area of the wiping edge of a seal will not trap grit, and is much cheaper to replace.
