With hyphenation, in German I tend to have a good feeling about when it's needed and when not, but I'm not quite sure whether those rules (which I probably can't even formulate precisely) carry over to English writing.
As a native English speaker, I have absolutely no idea. I'm not even sure that English has rules. :) My intuition says that either form is grammatically correct, that including the hyphen is probably slightly more correct, and that leaving it out is slightly more natural. I don't think the distinction is enough that anyone would notice either way. Opinions may vary, of course, and it is entirely likely that I am completely wrong. -- William Pursell
