Metal Bond Wire or Retainers After Invisalign?

I am coming to the final stages of my Invisalign treatment. Should I opt for the metal wire option where it is bonded to the back of my teeth, or should I choose the retainer? My dentist tells me I will only need the retainer at night (forever), my only issue with this option is how often the retainer needs to be changed (months/years) and the price.
