If you want a bit more control and not have interference when the wheels spin, than leave it off. When I say control with it off I mean driver control. So it depends on your level of comfort, and confidence in your driving skills.

Traction Control On: Drives like a modern car. Computer takes over if you try to spin the wheels or if the car tries to go sideways.
Traction Control Off: Drives like a late 60's Vette. Completely different car. Don't get stupid, these C6's will spin around on you in a heartbeat!
