Whoever told you that was confused. Plastic twine will put a little more wear on the knotters. On vintage balers there are replacement "case hardened" knotter parts that are recommended for use with plastic twine. Your 346 being much newer in comparison may have already been equiped from the factory with the harden parts - not sure. That said, many people have run plastic sucessfully on the older vintage balers with non-hardened knotters without issue.
I prefer sisal for 2 reasons:
a) It is biodegradable so it eventually will rot away if scraps are left out in field - as you mentioned.
b) If an animal were to accidentally eat some twine left laying around it will be much less of an issue with sisal as compared to plastic in my opinion. The Sisal would be digestable. The plastic you would need to hope and pray that it passes through the animal without tangling up in the intestines.
