It's mostly personal preference, but it depends on whether the stacks 
are substacks or not.

Substacks are always in RAM whether they are open or not, so it doesn't 
matter whether you close them or hide them.

Independent stacks take up RAM so if they are no longer needed I usually 
close and delete them.
