Well pump. Cycle vs steady?

So this is very off topic  but lots of people do plumbing or have well pumps. My question is I use my well to fill a secondary reservoir for watering plants, I can either do this very fast which runs the well pump steady or slow which cycles it every 5 mins or so. Slow is better as the well keeps up but idk what's better for the pump. Eventually we switch to a much larger pump and outdoor reservoir when the freeze is over but this is it for now. It's a submersible well pump 1hp not sure the gpm.
