IMHO. Do whatever makes you feel good. Me? I like hitting the home button and use it. I am not patient enough to wait for the boot time. I use mine a bit like OP, so I am doing a complete charge about once a week or so. I don't do "short charges" every night. But I am also that person that puts his home PC in standby instead of shutting it off; I like to just hit the mouse button and I am off doing stuff - instead of waiting for it to boot, plus all the processes to load. Personally I think it is harder on a machine to power it up and down all the time, rather than keeping it on, but that is just me.

My iPad battery is currently at 86%, standby time from right now would be 612 hours. That's about 25 days on standby, with nothing running in the background.

Leave it on forever. That is the way it was designed to be used.
