Is it better to discharge batteries completely before I recharge them,
or should I keep them topped off? What is better for the battery to
last longer?

Well, I would watch trying to discharge them. Few batteries take being
fully discharged and most methods of discharging batteries chance reverse
charging which can be deadly to batteries.

A good way of adding to the life of your batteries is a quality charger
that will custom charge each battery rather than the cheap ones that tend to
charge only pairs or groups of four at the same time, overcharging some and
undercharging others.
