Well a cruise guarantees optimal levels with a little tinkering.
You will have stable levels forever.
PCT is risky in the sense you will go through a period of very low T and no guarantee of it returning naturally, or even optimally.
It is very appealing to not come off however no one can make that decision for you.
HOWEVER, if fertility is an issue for you, and being reliant on exogenous T the rest of your life is a concern, you should run a PCT and regain natural levels.
Upside of PCT:
Natural levels could return and you won't be reliant on exogenous T.
Less risk of fertility issues.
Downsides:
T levels may not return fully.
Period of low T that will be pretty uncomfortable.
Loss of gains acquired on cycle more prevalent.
