I would personally rather experience something and then lose it, mostly because it gives you more of an encompassing view on life. If you were born blind, or lived your whole life alone, or never traveled, there would just be a blank space in your mind you'd never be aware of. While the loss can be very significant, it can also be necessary to grow as a person and exposes us to more experiences. It would probably be harder, but result in feeling more alive and having a wider range of experiences.
