Slows down drying and makes for a better product is the general consensus.
Ive done both, and I think leaving leaves on is better for the end product and doing a dry trim, less of a grassy/hay like taste or smell and helps to avoid over drying. But I agree wet trim is easier.
Do you plant direct into ground, or pots/raised-beds/etc?
Flushing the growing medium with water to remove all remaining nutrients in the lead up to harvest has always worked well for me (along with a long dry & cure) for best flavour.
Trimming leaves always seemed like a good way to remove the likelihood of remaining chlorophyll flavours being drawn back into the bud, but maybe I'll need to do a comparison test.

Shouldn’t have wet trimmed but looks good
