st: Missing values - panel data

Dear all,
I have a question concerning missing values. I have a panel data set for 6 years, in total 7 mio obs, but the panel is unbalanced.
So, should I drop the obs with the missing values, or what's best? This would shrink the sample to 80% of its original size.
Thx in advance!
Lisa
