Gutter guards , gutter helmet ,leaf filter ?

Kinda hate to remove the gutters . They’re the one piece gutters that I hung myself 20 + years ago . No leaks ,and heavy ice doesn’t effect them .
But for those of you that have removed them …. Do you have basements ?
As for the type of guard I’m looking at , it’s the stainless mesh type that can be bought at Amazon . Haven’t decided on which one ,if any at all . ( may just pull the gutters ) still weighing options .
Split level house with drain tile, sump pump, high water table and clay soil here. Yes, we sometimes have water in the basement. The water comes up through the concrete in the center of the basement cause of the high water table. Most of the house has concrete sidewalk around the perimeter. That helps. I do need to do some grading in a few spots but it really hasn't been a problem.
