In OSX it is good to reboot periodically/weekly if you use it heavily because maintenance tasks and opiomization is run on reboot.
I think that only Disk First Aid is run on boot-up; most maintenance tasks are scheduled for around 3.00 am which even a sleeping computer will miss. You can start them manually with something like Cocktail but Macaroni will automate the process:
"Macaroni is a tool which handles regular maintenance for Mac OS X's Unix core. Normally these tasks run on a regular schedule, in the middle of the night. However if you don't leave your Mac on all night, they never run. Your Mac won't wake from sleep to handle this."
