It doesn't really matter with my set up. I have an automatic water
drain on my compressor. It has a very slow controlled leak, and when
the pressure drops below about 10 PSI it opens up and drains all the
rest of the water. So I don't leave my compressor on all the time. I
tend to only use it on the weekends, so when ever I go to the garage to
do work, I turn on the compressor. Turn it off at the end of the day...
I also installed a ball valve on the pressure regulator/filter I mounted
to the wall by the compressor. I can shut off the pressure to the hoses
any time I want...
