What's you opinion on this duck breed?

Would you keep a muscovie if you wanted a pet duck? I belong to another forum for duck keepers, and a lot of them say muscovies are the best pets out of all the duck breeds. I do not hate them, but I can't see myself in the future loving them either. Muscovies are the "ugly ducks" with the red caruncles. Females have less, and I guess look a little cute. But most...ehh.

Muscovies are my favorite Duck species. Thye have a lot of personality and intelligence.

They do look cool. I take my duck to the park to walk every week. It's a large popular lake. I meet around 30 people a day walking my duck, a quarter of them insult the "ugly deformed male ducks" around the lake. Most people I meet want cute ducks. Not cool ducks. It also breaks my heart that I saw a couple imature teenagers throwing FULL water bottles at the flock of muscovies. Just because they thought they were ugly. Luckily I wasn't walking my duck at the time. And by the time the park ranger got there they already ran off.
