Flip a coin. Both approaches are viable. I'm in the lack-of-use-ruins-engines camp, so I would go the start it regularly route. But when prepared properly for storage, an engine is just fine after 6 months or more of no use.

I own a couple of boats and go through a Winter storage procedure (similar to what DR and that link describe) at the end of the season and have never had any issues come Spring. But I can't run the boats over the Winter. Cars, on the other hand, can be started and driven on nice weather days... so I prefer that.
