That's a matter of opinion. Personally I don't care whether or not something has been shown before - if I want to record it, I want to record it. Plus it's better to have things recorded that you don't want, than it not record things you do want.

This setting only comes into play when the hard drive is full. So if you are capable of managing the space yourself, the setting irrelevant. However, if you are not capable, it ensures that recordings don't fail due to lack of space. Everybody is happy

From time to time people post here asking why something hasn't recorded. Well, Hiccups is there to answer that type of question. It would be misleading to call it Recording Errors, because more often than not it's not an error - it's normal operation.
If you never need to look in Hiccups, that's fine. Simply ignore it.
