Leave it off.  But make sure you use it in the winter when it is dry, 
relatively warm weather.  If you don't use the brake at all for months at a 
time, the cable will stick or the pivot points will rust.  You can use a 
cable lube and squirt it down the cable once a year, and spray some lithium 
grease on the rest of the linkage.
