I have this tent and have heard people say that folding your tent the same way every time can break down the water proofing faster on the creases. Can and or should I try stuffing the tent instead?

You heard right. By repeatedly creasing the tent material along the same lines it can wear faster and cause the material to rip, tear or just perform poorly. You should stuff the tent, being careful to avoid snags or zippers, and DO NOT put the poles and stakes in the same stuff sack as it could rip the tent. Stuffing is always preferable, especially with sleeping bags too.
