It depends on what you want? If you want get superusers right, and custom your phone. Then you root it. I have a Samsung S5 too, but I want to get more fun from rooting. So root my S5, the price is I lose Samsung Warranty. But I could delete the built-in Samsung Apps and other built-in Apps I don't need, also I could install some Special Apps require SuperUser right. I thinks this is much more interesting to than the Warranty. I could do more with my Samsung S5 after rooting it.
But if you really care about the Warranty and other services from Samsung. I suggested you'd better not root it.
For me, to use my Android device freely is the most important thing!
