I don't think either way is technically "correct" I think it's up to personal preference

Most style guides have it as optional. That said, not using it has resulted in legal troubles before.

I personally always use it. Not using it leaves things ambiguous and while that's usually not a major issue, in some rare cases (like that story above) it does make a difference.
