From a wear point of view they would be better covered, especially if you are running in dirty/dusty/wet conditions.
If you are racing then they must be covered. They will do very nasty things to a marshal's fingers if you are a bit early on the power. The BRCA rules require that they are covered.
I don't understand why you say that there is no standard gear cover. The body covered the gears on the pre-Evo car and that meets the BRCA requirements and keeps most of the dirt out as well. The Evo has a separate gear cover.
