So suppose each site had a DC, why would one opt for a site or no site?

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.
