No difference. However, your best chance of ensuring reliability is not
switching off or on at all and to leave it up all the time. This is not always
practical, so it is always better to use the "system" power on/off, rather than
just cutting power at the source, to avoid any problems with glitches from the
mains supply. If u have a good quality system., its power supply should be
built well enough to protect your system from small anomalies in your mains
supply; however a surge protector/power box is a good investment.
