Aside from hiding leaks and the cheesy look, there's another
disadvantage: It makes it harder to change out toilets in the
future. It can be hard to predict how any goop/caulk is going to
stick to, or even possibly damage or discolor a floor.

The only time I've ever caulked a toilet was when the base was so badly
warped there was a 1/4" gap in the front. I didn't want it to turn into
roach central, so I shimmed the toilet so it would not rock, and then
caulked it. Tacky, but it ended up looking and working just fine.

P.S. If you still decide you must caulk, wait at least a month to
make very, very, very sure that you are happy with the toilet.
