If the part isn't too bulky, you can get away without heating the enclosure- just put a box over the printer to prevent drafts from cooling the print too suddenly.
A lot of people print a lot of PLA because they have open printers. But if you're printing things that you want to last a long time, PLA is not a great choice because it melts at a very low temperature. Can you guarantee that your print will never be left sitting in a sunny window or in a hot car, or near any other source of heat? If you build/modify your printer to print ABS reliably, there's (almost) no reason to ever print PLA.
