I think this depends on whether you are prepared to handle the difficulties involved in the occasional package restructuring that occurs as udev changes. Personally I think the benefit of having a small dynamic /dev folder is so big, that I can live with problems that show up from time to time. For example for a couple of months this summer I had to manually create /dev/dvd (and cdrom) symlinks after boot, so I could play dvds on kaffeine. The reason was an udev change that caused the symlinks to no longer be created. I had to purge all of udev and hotplug, and delete all the configuration files in /etc/udev manually and then reinstall to get it working again.
