I always started by closing my eyes, but found that having them open felt... better. More natural. Not exactly sure - i just started preferring it. FWIW, there are some popular books[1] that recommend the eyes open approach - which surprised me when I first read about it.

Methods differ, of course, but keeping your eyes open is the standard practice in traditional zazen meditation.
