Definitely yes. Personally I like the Adorama rubber hoods since they're big when unfolded, cheap and pretty durable. The main problem I have with metal hoods is that while they might protect your front element, they don't protect the mechanics of your lens -- many/most vintage lenses tend to be front-focusing, so if your hood is attached to a moving group and you bump the hood on something, it will transmit all the force straight into the inside of the lens, as opposed to rubber or plastic which will absorb the force. Also, with metal hoods it's easy to accidentally scratch the lens with the thread edge while unscrewing them and taking them off.
