From my own viewpoint, I like the disconnect everything (if possible), but I'd add, I'd ground all disconnected leads.

I say that, but very seldom disconnect anything unless I have plenty of warning. It's too difficult to get behind the desks to disconnect everything in sufficient time. The storm would be here before I could finish the first desk, let alone start on the second.

I do have lightening protection on most leads with coax shields grounded (earthed) at the top and bottom of the tower and a network of 32, or 33 8' ground rods CadWelded to over 600 feet of bare #2. I put it in before the price of copper went up.
