Personal preference here, besides all the things mentioned on other posts.
The "POST" routine can give you early warnings of pending hardware failures that might go un-noticed until complete failure otherwise.
Scheduled maintence reboots if for no other reason should be done.
True, but don't trust the POST routine. There is much more reliable software around for that, like memtest86.
But yes, that is a very important point. Even tho Linux (software) will just keep going, that is not always true for the hardware.
