Always with. I just think that on my frame it looks a lot better.

I tend to save the waistcoat for a more formal look. I will wear it when the mood strikes though.
YMOS,

I have two Argylls-- one is a light grey tweed, the other black barathea. I have two waistcoats that I wear with my black Argyll (but not at the same time!). Both are black and one is a 3-button (as would be worn with a PC) and the other a 6-button (as might be worn with a three piece suit). If the event is "black tie" (ie: tuxedos) then I pop on the 3-button waistcoat and black bow tie and I'm off to the event. If it's a dressy day or evening event (when a conservative suit would be appropriate) I opt for the 6-button vest and a conservative striped tie. I only wear white shirts with the black Argyll, although I tend to favour light blue Oxford cloth button-downs with the tweed. I wear the same same conservative striped tie with the tweed jacket that I wear with the dressier Argyll-- it makes dressing much easier, and frankly I don't care if it tones with the stripes in my kilt. My life is more interesting that worrying about neckties!  |

With.
It just adds some weird sort of oomph.

Firstly, I don't have one. But if I did, I would get the vest just to be able to wear jacket and vest, OR vest alone, OR jacket alone. Gives you lots of options.

I think the waistcoat really adds something to the overall look, you are almost guaranteed of a dapper look with a waistcoat. 
However from time to time without a waistcoat works as well, 
Most of the jackets I have found came without the waistcoat but I always wear the waistcoat if the jacket came with it.

So a lot of different opinions here. But at least no one is threatening to kill me either way. :o) A lot of you say it depends on the weather- well, we live in Houston. "Nuff said. Also, this would be worn mainly at RSCDS balls.
