There is no single correct answer. There often isn’t, in fact.
As for heat: You can treat PLA to be more resistive to temperature and even at stock, untreated, cheapest PLA wont just deform from hot air escaping since the thing melts at 190 and the air wont be that hot for long enough. It may deform with regular use though. You also don’t have to use PLA and use something more temp resistive.
Beauty? Eye of the beholder. Its a conversation piece. Its something you point at and say “I made that”. Its wabi-sabi, I like it.

190 celsius, I’d like to add.
If it melts, just print another!
