I prefer the naturalness of wax to a pad.

My pads have lasted the life of the board ( many years ) and were probably cheaper than the cost of wax for it over the same period.
Also the pads protect the board too reducing the risk of impact delamination in the water and while being loaded onto or into the car etc… – sooo I would reckon yes, use pads, but it’s up to you really !
