in a nutshell :
Your battery will never over charge.
No advantage of unplugging it.
The only risk of always on the mains is the fact your battery will last longer 😉
If you are near the mains leave it plugged in, if you need portability then run on the battery. Following after that general rule use as you see fit. If on the mains 100% of the time—maybe once a month use on battery down to 50-60% say, for a little exercise—no harm there.
