What kind of a pistol?
I use a GP K100 for IPSC and I'm whipping it out of a kydex holster with nary any marks to date. I'm more concerned about tearing off my front sight shooting through ports than any marks left by the holster.
IMO, go for the Kydex. Nylon, being a fabric, can grap and hold onto dirt that has a better chance of scratching your finish. Kydex is easier to clean.

Hear is my experience for what it's worth. I bought a used Sig P226 two-tone and it came with a Kydex holster and it scratched the frame up pretty bad.
I have not used another Kydex since, I have a leather holster and a couple of nylon ones and have had no issues with any of them marking up the finishes on the guns used in them.
To respond to Echo's post, when would you get dirt in holster, outside of dropping your gun or rolling around in the dirt? For cleaning you can through the nylon holster in the wash.
