From what I've seen, the goldplating on Wick mouthpieces doesn't last very long and pits as it wears. If gold is put on top of a GOOD silverplate, it should at least wear down to the silver eventually instead of getting rough with pitting.
In general, I don't recommend gold because I think it's too slippery for most players, but many people like it for the smooth feel.
