I am 100% with the IAU's decision. Reason being I have never thought of Pluto as the 9th planet and never will. It's inclination to the "orbital plane" is more like an Astreroids than a planets. Although there are quite a few Asteroids that do have a similar inclination to that of the other planets, I believe these to be unformed planets (unable to clump together gravitationally) or a planet who met its end in a catastrophic event. Hard to say without historical evidence from them.
I can see this thread stirring up some pretty interesting debate, but we must remember that it is of the opinion of the poster for their decision and isn't meant to be a sling match between who thinks they are right or wrong.
