Do you stab them with a fork and risk leakage of juices, or do you risk bangage?
I was thinking of roasting them on a bed of onions and serving them in some posh french baggette.

Don't stab them.
If they're decent and have natural casings you shouldn't need to anyway. All you'll do is dry them out further, and for nothing.

Only sausages made with natural casings need pricking

is the opposite not the case?

As far as I'm aware, natural casings will burst, hence the term bangers
but man made one's won't.

It seems not:
'Although it is sometimes stated that the term "bangers" has its origins in World War II, the term was actually in use at least as far back as 1919. The term "bangers" is attributed to the fact that sausages, particularly the kind made during World War II under rationing, were made with water so they were more likely to explode under high heat if not cooked carefully; modern sausages do not have this attribute.'

and therefore don't need pricking?
This sounds familiar now you mention it

Only sausages containing too much stuff that shouldn't be in sausages need pricking, I find.

Actually roasting sausages is perhaps my overall favourite technique.
