Neither. If you charge it any time you can you will rack up charge cycles. If you let it run down as far as you can you will create heat when recharging which may harm the longevity of the battery.
Right now, mine is 45-50% at night and I charge it up. Should I let it go all the way down before recharging?
I wouldn't let it get down below 15%. You're probably fine charging it every night.
I'd like to think Motorola engineered the battery to take a lot of abuse but letting it go all the way down doesn't sound like it would be good for it.
