I guess it's up to you. I don't think most people want to see bug 
reports popping up on a final releases, especially LTS versions which 
most of mine are. That is what I have always seen in the past. Disable 
Apport Error Reporting in Ubuntu 14.10 
<http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/09/disable-apport-error-reporting-ubuntu-14-10/>
There is one link that states "Reporting bugs is important, it helps 
improving system stability, but if you’re constantly getting crash 
report popups, you may want to disable it."
I've got 7 operating systems on my computer and one of them is 15.04 
development. But for Precise 12.04 and the others I turned error 
reporting off. So, while a system is in development I definitely leave 
bug reporting on then once it hits final release I usually replace that 
OS with the next development release.

I do not rely on short term releases, I mainly stick with LTS versions. 
So, I guess it is a matter of preference.
What's the difference between a Long Term Support Release and a Normal 
Release? 
<http://askubuntu.com/questions/16366/whats-the-difference-between-a-long-term-support-release-and-a-normal-release> 
provides some more information.
But, the bottom line is that is up to you.
