I don't prefer the DHCP method. Visitors also receive this setting, and if you use any kind of authentication it just causes pain and additional support.
We moved strictly to GPO configuration with some issues, that we've pretty much worked out. I will admit, I have a few system where IE just completely ignores the settings even when entered manually. Also, for those visitors, we implemented a transparent proxy using squid, wccp, and a cisco ASA. I'll be honest, it was actually a very tricky networking situation (because it's used for ALL networks, not just visitors). After ironing out issues with it, it seems pretty solid. It's used mostly to protect, not cache, though. The ASA has several known WCCP issues, and it did not actually work until I moved to 7.2.3 some time ago.

I am using the dns (cname) / dhcp option 252 method. How are you doing it, and do you have it working with ie7?
