Right now, every piece of equipment I own is completely devoid of fuel.

I've done both. I like the dry method, especially if there is a chance the engine might not be used for a long time.
I've had bad luck with the old Sta-Bil, probably due to ethanol in the gas. However, the new Marine or Ethanol versions (might be the same in different packaging) are a LOT better. They seem to work well, so I use those when I feel like it.
It's possible to still get carb problems with either method, in my experience.
