Depending on where you store your RV, you might find a "rule" concerning stabilizers/jacks. Most storage facilities request/require that trailers are stored with jacks UP. They do this for several reasons, primarily so they can move your trailer in the event of an emergency or to facilitate parking other rigs. While most storage facilities don't "haphazardly move rigs around", there is a valid concern with getting rigs away from an accident or a fire. In that kind of situation, having the jacks UP can mean the difference between your rig being damaged from bent jacks or burned because they couldn't move it out of the way.
If you're parked at home or on your own property, if you remove the batteries, consider that you can't move it without reinstalling the batteries so you can raise the jacks.
Jacks DOWN gives 4 or 6 extra "mouse access routes".
As for "which way is best "mechanically" as long as you keep the jack rams "wiped down to prevent corrosion" I don't think it really matters much whether they're up or down.
