Since ASA allows sunglasses, I use them.
When behind the plate, I use one of those glasses straps made for athletic use to make sure they don't slip out of place.

I can never remember having a problem with umpires wearing sunglasses around here. All we ever asked is that they be plain in nature, not mirror or of a neon-colored frames and that when talking to a coach, you remove them during the conversation.
