I had to replace my worthless battery that came form the factory after 8 months and I replaced it with a Gel battery. It had great reviews and so far I’m very happy with it. My question is, should I take it out and bring it inside for the winter? Kentucky winters are unpredictable.
If it is fully charged, just disconnect the ground wire and you should be fine. Fully charged it won't freeze and disconnected it won't have any draw from it.

I would guess force of habit. Disconnecting either wire from a battery will break the circuit and current will no longer flow from the battery. Pulling the ground terminal off just always seems to be most common.

Because as you're in there fumbling with a wrench on a terminal nut, there's less risk of causing a short and arcing the wrench to the body. If you were disconnecting the hot and touched anything metal around it it can arc.
It's a good habit to get into working on anything that's a negative earth system.

For the same reason, if totally disconnecting the battery for any reason, do the negative first...
