A lot depends on where you are going and what you are doing. If you are going to visit friends, missing a flight and being delayed a day probably won't ruin the vacation.
However, if you absolutely have to be on that flight, I would recommend going down the night before. For example, if I have a flight connection to Europe where, if I miss it, it might ruin the entire vacation (like missing the cruise), I would go down the night before.
I had a Spirit flight where they canceled a Friday morning flight and offered to put me on another flight on Saturday afternoon which was to arrive late Saturday evening. I was going out for a wedding on Saturday afternoon so that would have messed up the purpose of the trip.
