TL;DR: Up to your taste. There is no one way fits all.

All hardware degrades from being powered up, and it degrades from cycling. So neither is preferred. Then again, run time goes linear with waerwear of any moving part as well as taking in dirt from the outside. Last but not least, do you really power that hardware up that often that cycling is a notable issue? So for most cases cycling is the least degrading solution.
