If you are seeking to play through the game a second time for your own enjoyment, then new game plus is more or less irrelevant. You can start a new game any time you want. However, if you are hunting for collectables and need a second try to finish off your collection, new game plus is the way to do it.

The main culprit usually keeping players from a 100% completion is finding everything you can scan. You might not want to use a guide your first time through in fear of spoilers, but starting from scratch is also not an appealing prospect.

Thankfully, you can finish the game and start new game plus, keeping your scanning progress. On your second playthrough, you can be sure to scan anything you missed and get that coveted 100% completion.
