Should I delete the background from Illustrator file before saving as .eps...

Tags: illustrator, background, transparent
Hello,
I am working on a simple logo. It consists of vector line art and type that I have converted to outlines. It is an .ai cs2 file. I would like it to be transparent. I need to create an .eps file for commercial printing. One of the layers in the file is a "background" with nothing on it. Will I need to delete this before saving as an .eps or will the make transparent option in the .eps diolog box do the trick?
I will also be preparing the logo for use on the web (trans gif) and for home printing tiff / jpeg) using PS cs2. Would it be helpful to delete the background before opening in PS?

Thanks! Liddy
