Depends on what other trade-offs you're willing to make. Keeping the main meat of kicks (and snares) mono gives them more perceived power and weight in the mix. It also keeps these more powerful sounds central, which keeps width and room available to other sounds. If the bulk of your kick or snare is stereo, it's more competition for other elements in the mix.
That said, the main importance of having the kick mono is to preserve solidity in the lows, and on a technical note, anything stereo under 150hz will make cutting a track to vinyl a nightmare (which is admittedly of less importance today). Definitely don't restrict yourself to making the entire kick mono though; if it has a great stereo upper range that sounds fantastic, keep it! It's mainly the low mid/low end being mono that makes a lot of difference.
