Hi,
Here is a straight answer. I would first check for the unit root in the data. Depending on the results, select between stationary and nonstationary modeling. The case of non-lineariy should be dictated by economic theory. If, for example, unit root is present and the theory behind your economic model is non-linearity, you can then use nonlinear cointegration. The same logic applies for stationary variables. Hope this answers your question.
