Is it best to take the battery out when using the macbook on desktop mode for months on end?

No. When the CPU is at full pelt, it draws more power than the power supply can provide. Hence if you've taken your battery out in this situation, the CPU will underclock itself to compensate. There is an Apple KB article about it somewhere.
Leave the battery in, but ensure you maintain a good charging regime. Let it run down every now and then so the electrons stay mobile!
