If I had Stoptechs I probably would take them off during the winter.

2 winters on mine. No problems at all. Although I was constantly washing off the salt.

Default I've taken them off every Winter - except this one. I was feeling lazy.
I also have new rotors for Spring and the two caliper bridge bolts were swapped for Stainless Steel on day one. Also, plenty of Nickel-base Anti-Seize on the bridge bolts. I still remember how stuck Shon's became and how Witbrod and I spent several beers getting them out (destroying something in the process).

Default 2 Winters, no problems. Make sure you did not melt your dust boots though before winter comes.
I did notice the bolts that connect the beake lines to the caliper are a bit rusty though.
