Default AC clutch

Your thoughts please. In an area like Phoenix, do you shut off your AC when you turn your car off or leave it on so the clutch and fan are on when you turn the key? Just pondering which is easier or better for the AC system when you run it all the time. Thanks guys.

gdog,
You're probably right but I'm just one of those engineers that's always thinking about stuff like that.

Most have a delay relay so the issue is moot.
