which does damage, if any?

Either way is fine. It should eventually fall and release the water. If you don't have a faucet that will release automatically, then release it when you're done showering. Whether this idea is a myth or not is speculative. Supposedly water sitting in the pipes may cause premature failure of the pipe, but I have been a contractor for a very long time and have never seen any pipe fail in this way. I have seen pipes fail that were 30, 40 or 50 years old, but was it due to standing water not released after the shower, or because of the age of the pipe and the fact that it was galvanized? Who's to say, but just in case the myth has some credibility, I have a self release and if I didn't I would probably do it manually.

MOST OF THE TIME THE LEVER WILL FALL BACK BY ITSELF WHEN THERE IS NO WATER PRESSURE. OTHERWISE IT IS BETTER TO PUSH IT DOWN AFTER SHOWERING, OR THE NEXT PERSON, BY TURNING THE WATER ON AND NOT REALIZING THE POSITION OF THE LEVER MIGHT BE IN FOR A SURPRISE AND GET A SHOWER.

you should always return the system to bath mode to prevent your significant other from getting a wet head when they reach in to run a bath. Trust me on this.

It will stay up till the water pressure recedes and no, it wont damage anything.
