I have two kilts, one heavy weight wool and the other PV. To be fair I didn't have a choice in the PV one as I ordered it as part of a cloth order here on the forums and that order was going to be PV.

The only damage my wool kilt has suffered has been from two sources, first are moths, I have several minor holes on it, although none preclude me from wearing it. Second from my favorite sporran, which is heave and tends to rub against the apron. I noticed that there are definite signs of wear along the front as well as where the chain sits. While I have not noticed this wear on the PV kilt, I have not owned it as long as the wool one, so that may explain it a bit.

I did have one incident where I got a beer spilled on me at a bar by some idiot. It cost me enough to clean the wool kilt that I was considering a PV kilt when the cloth order came up. I have been pleasantly surprised with this kilt. It looks good, withstands whatever I seem to do to it. It is lighter weight and not as warm, but sometimes that is a good thing. Since having it, I haven't had a single thing spilled on it yet.

As for future purchases, I know that I want at least one more wool kilt, and I have been considering other PV choices as well. I have worn both in formal and informal settings and they looked good to me. I did have one person ask me what the PV one was made of as he thought it looked to light when he saw me in it. That was at a formal event and I was in a PC also. He was the only one of about 3,000 non kilted attendees at that dinner that commented about it. All the others were positive about the kilt.
