Is it better up or down..

Long time ago I heard someone say that when parking a tractor or implement it's better to leave it up with hydraulic pressure on it than down with no pressure. They said it's better on the o rings and seals to have oil and pressure on them so they last longer and don't dry out as fast.

Aside from the safety issue of leave a three point. bucket or trailer impement raised or the other issue of down but off the ground, what do you guys think. When a tractor or implement is going to set for awhile is it better on the o rings and seals to leave pressure on system or take the pressure off. Or doesn't it make a hang of difference.
