Left heel on backswing: up or down?

My habit has been to lift my left heel somewhat during my backswing. (Could be another baseball/softball influence on my golf swing.) Anyway, I'm going to try keeping it on the ground. When I keep it down, it seems to increase torque on my right side, so I have a little more to "unload" on my downswing.

But I'm not a sophisticated student of the swing, so I thought I'd ask you folks: Do you lift your left heel on the backswing? Why or why not? And (whichever you do) how is it working out for you?
