I try my hardest to remove the plug when I can. If I can't because the sps is encrusted to it I then will cut off the bottom of it.

Personally speaking, I won't buy corals attached to frag plugs. That pretty much means that I won't buy frags from the "Frag Farmers" on the web.
I do buy frags that are glued to natural reef rocks, or more mature colonies that aren't attached to a plug or rock.
Hopefully there will be enough reefers voicing their objections to little round ceramic disks that frag farmers will get the message and stop using them. But that could take a long while.

I prefer a fresh cut from an established colony, as i am not putting an SPS attached to a plug in my tank. If its encrusted, i just cut it off with a dremel or snips. not only can pests hide on them, they are so awfully ugly.
The mari stuff that i buy, I have the entire based removed, normally right there at the store before being bagged up. Those things are way worse then frag plugs for hiding pests.

Most of my rock works is made up of plugs and what not jammed into my rockwork you can't see it after they grow over them
