Is it best to ignore the hidden administrator account?

My standard use account is a power user but I also have the built in admin account active just in case however I rarely log in with it directly. Usually I provide my password for admin tasks. I agree with not logging into an admin account on a regular basis but you need one active just in case your primary account goes heads up. Just a note if you want to go with the builtin admin account you have to do so from computer management. The control panel won't let you activate it. You can't by default activate it on home additions.

Before you use the Hidden administrator as a day to day active user, please ensure that you have system and data backups and probably an official Microsoft install media - You will need it. As it is a sure way to invite the Malware that infests the internet onto your system. Also it's a good Idea to have plenty of cash in a bank account that is not accessed from you computer, as it's likely to be needed to pay the ransom for you data

I think that we have given our opinions.

That would be my guess since M$ hides it however I haven't seen or performed any definitive studies on it so I couldn't tell you for sure.
