I have done both depending upon the weather. I generally also use the storm cover as well, especially on the S1 Roadster as rain got in via the louvres and the car would miss like crazy.
The S1 had Devol bushes so no need to grease the front for 3k, what I now struggle with is where to store a grease gun if we ever do again a long road trip, Sorrento was just over 3k when we did it in the S1.
