Same with this one. When I had it potted it was dying on me. This is the healthiest it’s been. Should I just keep it in water or pot it?

looks happy I’d leave it alone — she’s a hydro girl now!

My dieffenbachia camille died back very similarly to yours (I scrolled through your pictures). I think the soil I had her in was retaining too much water and she wasn't getting enough air on her roots. I repotted mine in Espoma African Violet and Bonsai Jack Gritty Mix at a 4:1 ratio and she's bouncing back wonderfully!  
I think either option- pot or hydro- is fine for your girl, just make sure if you do repot that the new pot has enough drainage holes and the soil is fast draining

I noticed going from water to sphagnum moss \& perlite as growing medium has kept my dieffenbachia alive.

If you are unsure, why not go halfway and put in LECA?
