I say off. I read (for older cars) that if you leave it engaged too long it tends to stick (won't disengage properly) but I am not sure if thats an issue with these (or newer cars in general). I say block the wheels and don't worry about it but maybe somebody will prove me wrong.
I am going off of my experience from another car I have. Left e-brake on and it now sticks. |

^^Off. Block the wheels, or better yet get the car up in the air so it doesn't put any wear on the suspension. Might be an old wives tale, but hey its not like it will hurt. Unless you lift it from a bad spot and bend the frame I guess.

Never ever set your ebrake during the winter time.
no matter if you are storing the vehicle or just driving it.

 I have it stored at my uncle's friend's place. They have a restoration garage/warehouse. Half of the warehouse is heated (kept at 70) and that's where my car is. Above the storage area is a big party room (bar, kitchen, big tvs). They throw parties for the Daytona 500 and things like that. Unbelievable amount of automotive collectibles in this place.Needless to say, I trust these guys almost as much as myself when it comes to keeping my car safe.
