I vote "unlined" just because it looks cool. I just read an interview with Geddy. Apparently Fender sent him a Jaco fretless which he used on one tune on the "Snakes & Arrows" album. He was hoping not to have to add other instruments to the song, just bass and drums so no one could tell him he was out of tune!

I haven't played fretless, but I love the sound.
