Marching band clarinet

I'm a freshman just starting marching band this year and I'm not sure if I should use my wood or plastic clarinet. The plastic one I've had since 6th grade and I bought it thinking that it was new but later I realized it was actually a used clarinet :( I got my wood clarinet about 4 months ago and I haven't used the plastic clarinet since. Somehow in these 4 months my plastic clarinet has worn down a bit and now that I'm trying to play it again I found ou that it's MUCH more prone to squeaking in the upper register than my wood clarinet. I know in marching band it's always better to use plastic because the instrument may get damaged but I'm afraid that if I use my plastic one it will squeak suring shows and rehearsals. Do you still think I should use my plastic clarinet? I've been using my wood one for the pre-summer band camp because there's only music, nothing athletic involved.

My wood clarinet is a Buffet E12F (the one with the weird case) and my platic one is a Buffet but I don't know what kind.
