Hi Brian, I nearly always put my iMac to sleep rather than shut it down. I do this because it is then much quicker to startup the next day. I just have to enter my password to startup. the disadvantage of sleep mode is that the computer does consume a small amount of power while asleep.
Maverick is the next release of Mac OS due in the Fall (November?). If Apple follows its usual practice you should be able to upgrade from Mountain Lion to Maverick via the App store for a modest cost - I recall that it was about 29 dollars to upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion.
