Personally, I would prefer to have it already available.

We have several deployment targets with different tradeoffs. Broadly speaking:

Phones: expensive data, limited storage. Want to not use up the storage, so download lazily.

Consumer laptops/desktops: cheap data, plentiful storage. Probably ok to download opportunistically after initial install even if not immediately needed.

Locked-down corporate laptops/desktops: Need a way to push out an install with everything already included.

Limited-connectivity kiosks and whatnot: Need a way to push out an install with whatever components are desired already included.

I tend to live by "Its better to have it and not need it than to not have it and 
need it."

If you have unlimited storage, sure.  We don't, on phones.
