It’s makes absolutely no difference. I prefer sleep, as waking is quicker than booting.

I shut down down my MB every week or so if I remember. I've probably gone for a month without doing so. Doesn't really matter.

I shut down when it needs to be shut down (i.e. if I need to install an update, or if the Mac is going to be unused/unplugged for several days).

Otherwise sleep is all it needs.
