Well, a shut database for me means just a bunch of files neatly closed
and ready to be backed up... if the logs are lost, fine... if the
archived logs are lost, fine... especially if there is no 24x7 needs...
if the database needs to be up 24X7 that's a different story...

very poor reasons
 
all a shutdown does is clear out your buffer cache and shared pool
making the database have to work hard when you restart it.
 
What does keeping the archive logs have to do with anything. Don't you
keep all of them anyway?

shut nicely and do not have to keep the archivelogs produced during the
backup... also, shutting down the database once in a while avoids having
problems with the fragmentation of the shared pool and stuff like
that...
