The only argument I've seen against poly is that poly is a synthetic and is stronger so it won't wear at the same rate as cotton. Some people worry that as the quilt gets washed the poly will irritate the cotton fibers and wear them out faster. I say do what best works for you. If you aren't quilting for a quilt show then think of how the item is going to be used and choose your thread that way.
