I'll throw in my 2 cents with everyone else. I'll preface I won't insinuate I know any better than anyone else.
My understanding is if the engine is tuned to run on 87, then it's fine. However if you want "peak performance", the higher the octane the more power you can extract from the motor. This doesn't necessarily imply better or worse wear and tear efficiency, it's just simply a combustion of better power output.
with that said, if you are heavy footed, then maybe it is best to run the highest octane your area offers. But if you putt around like me, I honestly don't think my jeep has seen above 3000 RPM's, I drive like a grandpa, 87 has not shown a hint of weird hesitation, poor performance, or odd noises.
