Reboot IMHO Daily is too often I recommend once a week.
The only reason a (normal) UNIX server should be rebooted is when kernel updates are applied. This is one of the things I am dissatisfied with about OS X. A reboot is required to apply some non-kernel updates.

I have had uptime in the hundreds of days before I needed to take servers down for updates (My BSD boxes were up for 437 ;)).

Isn't there a command that you can type in Terminal that will tell you how long the OS has been running since the last reboot?
