Why have them running when not being used is my philosophy. It's only (overtime) creating unnecessary movement wear that's not needed.
You should however, If storing them unwound, wind them about once a month to keep the oils from pooling and in the necessary places.

Save your money, and wind them by hand, that's half the fun of owning a mechanical watch!
Welcome to the boards!
This is the best answer I've read about this often discussed topic. Thanks!
