Personally I like having a local copy of dbpedia; there are operations that I like to do (temporary closed world assumption, etc.) that are much more reliably done when you've got a local copy. The fact is that there are many kinds of funkiness in dbpedia, including data holes, key integrity issues and so forth that you'll never see if you use the SPARQL endpoint and that I wouldn't have discovered if I hadn't built a specialized system to efficiently represent dbpedia and freebase that enforces tougher integrity constraints than a conventional RDF stores.
