Don't know if it applies to just electronic shutters, or specific cameras and what not, but least in the old mechanical shutters (say rangefinders, leaf shutters on view cameras, etc for example), having the shutter cocked or uncocked makes no difference for storage, as the 'wear' is only done on actual firing of the shutter.
So I guess it depends but far as I know with older mechanical it didn't matter, even though the old curmudgeons at the camera shop I used to work at would swear by the 1 second cocked tip for long term storage.
I was actually considering a P30N until I saw it requires DX coding to set the film speed (without the DX code on the canister, it's always ISO 100).
