I had a co-worker ask me today why we have all of our master catalogs as user 
cats on the other systems in the sysplex?  Besides convenience I really had no 
answer as to why we had it setup this way?  I've just always done it this way, 
but besides convenience of listing and updating catalogs from other systems is 
there really any reason for this?

And what are best practices?  And if GRS and share options are setup properly, 
is there really any risk to setting things up this way?

IMHO the best practice for Sysplex is to share MCAT and (most of) UCATs.
However if you don't share it you have difficulty to access other member's dataset - that's why MCATs are defined one to each other as UCATs.

Rephrasing your question, there is no special risk when some UCAT is shared with another system but there it plays role of MCAT. Of course catalog sharing can be screwed up, but it does not depend on BCS role (MCAT vs UCAT).
