Is it best to chop pups leaves off instead of leaving them on? When you are seperating them.

One thing that I have noticed is that when I get a banana plant in the mail that leaves are chopped off (for easier shipping) it will be harder to kill and seems to have no stress. When I seperate a pup or get one in the mail with leaves it seems to go through more stress and seems to die more easier.

I know that when you cut pups leaves off the roots will grow more, and then they will pop a leaf that seems to had no stress... Or did I just answer myself?
