If you're a criminal, it's better to have a duress PIN. You are able to destroy evidence that is more incriminating than the erase action itself.
If you're not a criminal, it's better to have a duress PIN, because the law enforcement is not allowed to search your phone without a warrant and you protect your valuable private data.
Since being criminal (or not) is an invariant here, you should use a duress PIN.

@nakal@mastodon.social I see that you are not a lawyer, are not familiar with spoliation of evidence, and have not read the part of the article that specifically talks about warrantless border searches.
