That way the camera will spend as little time as possible without a lens. The longer the front is exposed, (w/o a lens, or a body cap) the more chance there is to get dust on the sensor. So keep your primary lens on the camera to avoid getting dust on the sensor, and keep them in a bag when not in use. Keep it attatched.

It is advised to store your lens in places without stagnant air, or inside a dry cabinet with controled humidity level. Keeping it in a bag (or closet) will just invide fungus to grow on your lens. If you live in a very dry climate then this may not apply, as long as you don't keep it for too long in your bag. As for whether to attached the lens, well, if you do not need to take it out, don't take it out, it will only make dust goes inside.
