I think save any time is always superior, if you can pull it off.
There are a number of technical issues with saving at any time. Saving and loading resets the screen and kills any scripts running. So if you let the user do it anywhere, you have to plan everything carefully or it's bound to mess something up. Especially if you have scripts running in the back ground (eg. timers or poison). You'd probably have to put a script on each screen to start them back up after a save-load.
