This question is too broad. What exactly are you looking to do with one?

Most things look good in moderation, if its used to compliment the edit and is only a small portion of the shots then (IMO) its fine. As soon as you use it for the entire edit that is when it doesn't look good anymore

whut

a wide angle's not the same as a fisheye and that's not a pro or a con for it...

I disagree that an entire fisheye edit looks bad. There is a right and wrong way to film with them and when done right it is much less obnoxious.

I agree however sometimes just a classy looking shot looks good.
