I also lean toward private mutes, but I am also sympathetic to use-cases like hodlbod (nprofile…u0w6)'s web-of-trust scoring that deducts score based on how many within your WoT have muted a given npub.
That's another way that choice is advantageous, though. The ones you would most want to be taken inter consideration for WoT scoring would be muted scammers and spammers, which a user probably has no issue being publicly shamed. Whereas the mutes you most likely want to have kept private are just people who you don't get along with, and that sort of reason for muting probably doesn't need to be taken into consideration for WoT score, as others may get along with them fine.
