shutdown vs. always-on

the other "shutdown or logoff" thread piqued my interest as to what the
current feeling of the (current) group is on this topic.
from my experience, when a system dies it's on startup. that seems to
be the most likely time you'll see fireworks spitting from the pack of
the power supply.
but, to me, that doesn't mean that it's best to leave it on all the
time because of wear on the mechanical parts inside the machine: fans
and hdd.
when i was in college, it seemed that the opinion was to leave it on
all the time because startup stressed the hdd more than just leaving it
on. i don't really see this as likely, because a full system scan with
an av utility seems to stress the hdd much more than a couple of
startups and shutdowns during the day.
i'm sure this question has been asked before, but i always like to read
the most current opinion on the subject.
thx.
