So suppose each site had a DC, why would one opt for a site or no site?
Because with a DC in place, I'd gain those benefits listed below?

The Microsoft definition of a site is:

A collection of well-connected subnets.

The Glenn Sullivan Modified Definition is:

A collection of well connected subnets with domain controllers.

Creating a new site provides the following benefits:

1. Further optimizes the exchange of directory information 
2. Facilitates administration by centralizing resources such as
configuration information 
3. Fine tunes replication behavior 

Since all three of these are replication issues, if there are no DC's at
these sites, it is a moot point.

Can I get opinions on 2000 architecture? Let's say you've got a central
office and 10 remote locations with about 25 users each. You run 2000 server
and XP on the desktop. What would constitute making an office a site versus
just making them an OU in your domain?
