NAT adds a layer of protection to the firewall so disabling it is not always
the best thing to do. Anyhow if you decide not to use NAT you need to pay
for additional public addresses from the ISP for each of your machines. So
you will pay more and get less protection from your firewall so that you can
run software that is known to present other security issues on more than one
machine . You decide!
