Transcoding is lossy, so if they play fine unpacked, you're better off not transcoding.
(This assumes you're keeping the original -- if you discard the original, transcoding to h.264 to save disk space could be a reasonable tradeoff...)
So I would accept some loss through transcoding if it meant lower impact on battery life for example. I read that if the content is over 800x480, then the DSP isn't used, so if I had to scale that down, I would still want to select the best combination.
