I always use static IPs because it makes network management so much easier. Of course, I don't have your typical network. Just in my apartment alone I have 17 different IP addresses (4 printers, 3 desktops, 2 laptops, 1 server, 2 phones, 1 iPod, 1 Tablet, 3 game consoles. I may actually be forgetting a thing or two.) plus I have another 2 down the street for my niece.

It would be an absolute nightmare using dynamic IP addresses, especially with the printers.
