My experience has been thinking i only have a few objects so it's not really worth the effort of building a factory. But i built one anyway for the experience. But when i look at that first OOP project now, a year later, i see my site which was originally going to have only 10 objects now has more than 50. I'm REALLY glad i built the factory now!
Once you see how great this OOP thing is, you start bolting on applications like there's no tomorrow, and complexity starts coming looking for you. When you think you are only going to have a few objects, I reckon for most cases, that's only because you have missed something. And you're going to get more complexity anyway.
