I would imagine that this is a per admin thing. Personally I have done it both 
ways. Only drawback is if the lease runs out & your DHCP server is down.

I mostly use DHCP reservations nowadays.

To you network guys out there...

When you give a device a static address, be it a server, switch, printer etc., 
do you think it is better to hardcode the address into the device or allocate 
the address using DHCP and the MAC address.

Thanks
