AFAIK there shouldn't  be any problem. You can do either way. The main
reason for gzip-ing a kernel is to make it small enough to fit on a
floppy or such medium. Today I don't see any reason to gzip it.

If you want to be on the sure side do both, gzip and don't. Copy both
to /boot and make two entries in grub.conf.
