1a charging vs. slow charging?

I really like my 1a chargers at home, work and in my truck for a quick boost, but I have a question.

I found some microusb chargers at work (I think came with moto bt earpieces) that are only 200ma, less than half of usb and they do seem to charge my inspire.

Would using one of these at night when I go to bed (with 20-30% batt left) instead of a 1a charger be any better for the health of the battery? Or does it matter at all? Me and the phone are guaranteed to be down for 6 hours or more, why charge it quick in only 1 hr?
