Piazzolla can sound good either way. Here's Florent Heau with little or no vibrato

And here's Corrado Giuffedi with quite a lot of vibrato:

Piazzolla, because of his birth and training, straddles the worlds of classical and popular music. Leaning on the classical side you can play it straight, and on the pop side with vibrato. For any one of his particular compositions, the choice comes down to what you prefer and are most comfortable with.

Some time before Piazzolla, Isaac Albeniz wrote a famous tango, and clarinetists usually play that one in typical classical style with no pronounced vibrato, like Paco Gill here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8vEZO2C9fM
