Uh, so it should only be turned on for switchports that connect to...
"no device"?

Anyway: right for "to switch", dead wrong for "to router".  It should be
turned on for any connection that is known to not go to a switch or hub,
and doubly so if rapid-pvstp is used (due to TCNs being sent on a link
flap otherwise, possibly causing stalls elsewhere).

As far as a switch is concerned, a "router" is the same thing as "a host" -
it doesn't forward layer2 things, so can't cause a routing loop.
