I usually shut down my computer at the end of the day, but that’s just me. Going for long periods of time without rebooting can allow crap to build up in the system that can be detrimental.

What OS are you running?

That's not a good idea on a Mac, sparklite2. OS X does housekeeping duties after there has been no user activity on the computer for several hours. It runs several utilities to clean up that crap that plagues Windows machines if you let the machine sleep instead of turning it off. Power usage is minimal.
