PL will make absolutely no difference.  Their signal is still
there, jamming yours whether you can hear it or not.  The only
thing PL does is act like a squelch so that you don't hear them.
But their signal is still just as strong on the uplink as
without PL.

Hence, it is far better to have PL OFF so you can hear what you
are up against.

Would you rather be in a boxing match with a giant with a
blindfold on your eyes or not.  You are still going to take the
same punches, but without blindfold, you can see the punch
coming.
