Even though this is anecdotal at best, other users also seem to have good experiences by shutting the device completely off before connecting to a PC.

EDIT
You've already made the suggestion to use a reboot option in Nickelmenu, good idea.
No need to shut down when not being used. That actually uses more battery doing that then a reboot just before plugging into the USB.
