We used to bring them into SCUP, and found a way to detect a warm reboot was needed. Our shutdown process at night saw the warm reboot, and did the BIOS upgrade.

Outside staging I'd only do if there is a real need or tangible benefit. Bios and drivers are the main influencers of blue screens, I need a very good reason to run that risk.

A lot of customers prefer to only do it during the imaging process. I am fine with that but if you can be thorough enough to test and are capable of supporting your users I would pro-actively keep the bios up to date on all systems.
