It's almost always a good idea to run with -v because it will output basic state information and time-to-completion estimates as your simulation runs. It prints to "standard out" so if launching mdrun from a script (like on a cluster), make sure the script captures the output to a file.
I find the data that -v outputs to be more useful in general than the extra details found in the .log file.
