Tails/Liberte/whatever - do you use persistence or strictly read-only, and why? Trying to get a handle on being practical vs. paranoid.

We will need some context. Are you buying grams of weed or pounds of coke?
Without additional info I would say go ahead and use it.

Actually, your question is an answer in itself, and good guidance, methinks.
I guess I'm wondering whether there's a point where too much paranoia could actually lead to decreased security. For example: no persistence + faulty memory = need to write shit down somewhere = (arguably) less secure than LE discovering a strongly encrypted volume. It would seem that heavy activity raises need for security but also increases potential for human error and therefore suggests persistence might be better than relying on memory or low-tech solutions. To each his own, for sure, but curious about whether there's any general consensus.
