Hi generdude and welcome to the Spanishdict answers forum
You would never say "Juan le gusta" it would always be "A Juan..." because Juan represents the indirect object of your sentence and indirect objects are always introduced by the prepositional marker "a."
In any case, you might find the following reference to be helpful:

I changed the word "article" to "object" in your post... indirect objects :) - Jeremias, Nov 9, 2011
