A building inspector friend hates ever seeing gutters with leaf guards because they cause rot in the eaves.
Any needles/leaves that are kept out of the gutter and lay on top the guards will hold moisture that wicks into the wood under the shingles.
Here in the damp Seattle area, he says leaf guards are guaranteed to cause extensive structural damage.
