I have had the phantom power on my board turned on for 10 years. You will want to mute the channel when plugging and unplugging mics, but there is no reason to turn it off.

Disclaimer: Some DI's built into certain bass amps and keyboard amps will be damaged by phantom power as well as some very old and expensive ribbon mics. I would be shocked if 10 people on this forum have ever seen (in person) one of these old ribbon mics, so it isn't a big concern.

My brand new Avantone ribbon mic states emphatically that phantom power must be OFF when using their mic. I turn mine off whenever it isn't needed. jmho

Like I said, there are obvious exceptions.
