Filament, Loaded or Unloaded?

What is the best practice for filament loaded? So far all I've done was the initial test and calibrations and up until the third strike I unloaded the filament two times before shutting the power off.
On the third time I didn't pull the filament out quick enough. Luckily it was an easy fix to cut the filament where you can see it below the bowden tube where the gears are.

This brings me to my question. What are the best practices with the filament? Do you leave it in until it runs out or you swith to a differnt color or type?

I leave it in unless I want to change to a different filament (or if I need to put TPU away for fear it will absorb moisure). As long as the extruder is off whenever you are not printing, no issue with leaving it loaded.
