Like others were saying, I think that both modes of meditation yield slightly different experiences and results.
I've heard from meditation teachers that a benefit of learning to meditate with the eyes open is that you will be more able to be in a meditative mindset during the normal day-to-day activities.
Personally I prefer to keep my eyes closed. Anything that helps me to feel internal and feel that I have reduced the amount of stimuli assaulting my senses, is good.
