Generally speaking....
.. no need to put automatic watches on the winder. The only issue may be the date, right? But if you spare one minute to adjust the time and the date, you hand wind 10 times, and off you go!

Fine either way.
It is said that if you keep the watch running, the "servicing" or "overhaul" interval would/ should be shorter because, obviously, the inside would be worn faster. If you work the watch once a month, naturally, the servicing interval would/ should be long...
Ken gives solid advice.
You will not hurt the watch either way. I winder can be convenient for something like a 15202, with the unconventional date change adjuster.
personally
I would recommend a SwissKubiK winder if you'd opt using one. Obviously there are many more roads to Rome.
