A site im working on has had a 301 redirect from www.site.com to site.com
I follow the practice of redirecting site.com to www.site.com.
The question is, if I recommend redirecting site.com to www.site.com after the site achieved a page rank of 5, will it LOSE the pagerank it has built up?

The redirected site will lose it's PageRank, yes. Because it basically won't exist anymore.

Safer for what? You are redirecting the site, it doesn't need PageRank then, right?

my fault - i wasn't very clear.
currently there is a website that has a 301 from www.site.com to site.com
the site.com has a pr 5
obviously, its a permanent 301 so www.site.com has no pagerank
should i simply keep the site.com as is?

I guess I'm not clear why you're even asking.
Is it somehow causing you problems?

no... the last company I worked for told me it was white-hat best practices to 301 site.com to www.site.com

I'd leave it the way it is WYF.
It doesn't really matter if you make the www or non-www version of your site the "main" url address. The advice you got is basically correct, in that in the best possible scenario you want either one or the other to be your main addres.
However since you've already had it as the non-www version for some time I'd leave it that way. If you were to switch it at this point it's going to take the search engines a few months to catch up, which could hurt your rankings for a time.
