Am I better off leaving her empty for the winter or filling it up and putting some stabilizer in it?

Thanks
Leave it full. Empty will promote condensation. If you can fill it with non-oxygenated premium (alcohol adsorbs water), so much the better. If not, don't worry about it. With a full tank you won't get enough water condensing to worry about.

You can use a fuel stabilizer, but it's not necessary for storage of periods about 3 months or less. You won't get enough octane loss in three month to make much difference.

Throw a Battery Tender on the battery (leave it connected), cover it if you want, start it back up in the spring. Don't start it while it's hibernating.
