Not that I'm sure I know what I'm doing, but I like running slack-less; it has a direct-response feel to it.
Its not wrong, it'll just wear your parts out faster, and you'll be doing more work (fractionally) to pedal a super tight chain than a loose one. If the responsive feel of it is more important to you than those things, then go for it.
