Depends on what you like. Sizing is chemically made and so never attracts bugs. I personally don't use it because it doesn't make fabric as stiff as I like. When I buy spray starch, I buy the heaviest spray starch I can find (currently in my sewing room Magic Professional, I think from Walmart). For heavy starching of backing fabrics and fabric that will be cut on the bias, though, I mix up a solution of Sta-Flo and water.

It is safe to store fabric that has sizing in it indefinitely.
