It makes no difference whether you drain the battery to 50% and recharge it more frequently, or drain it to 5% and recharge it less frequently. In the end, it's the number of full cycles that count. There is almost nothing the user can do short of deliberate abuse that will significantly degrade battery performance. Case in point, I have a 15-year old iPod Classic that still holds a good charge despite being discharged to almost flat and even completely flat countless times over the years.
