Engine shutoff Manual Trans W/G56

Just curious to know how everyone shuts their G56 equipped trucks off. Whether you do it with the clutch depressed, or not...I had heard a few years back that it was a good idea to shutoff clutch depressed to alleviate any added stress on the dual mass flywheel.
Any possibility of long term damage either way?
Thanks

It says right in the manual that it doesn't matter. They do recommend shutting down with the clutch pedal depressed to eliminate some of the shut down shudder.

It does make a noticeable difference.

Oh yea...clutch depressed here.
