Google luv ?: put out of stock items on reserve or use trait [[availability:out of stock]]???

I’m hypervigilant about removing items that are out of stock, and then relisting them when they’re back in stock.

I usually just put items on reserve.

1. Does this hurt my rating with Google shopping if I put an item on reserve, after they’ve posted it to google shopping, and then since it takes a while for GS to update, their links to my items will be dead if I put items on reserve?

2. Or do they hate it even more if I have out of stock items listed?

3. To get Google luv (or prevent google hate) should I put out of stock items on reserve or use trait [[[URL removed] of stock]]???

4. Since Google gives more credence to listings that are older, wouldn’t it be better to put items as “out of stock” rather than on reserve?
