This is always a fun topic, but I run a small (3 subnet, 400 device) network where I work. It's always much easier for me to load printers on to folks PC's or do RDP if I alreay know the ip address of the device.. Also when looking at NETFLO output it's much quicker if you have a clue who your looking at without having to drill deeper. Same goes for content filters, virus appliances, etc.. I can understand if you have more users/devices than addresses on a subnet why you would want to use DHCP, but if you have enough addresses the advantages of statically addressing your devices are pretty reasonable ones in my opinion. At work and at home I also like to put similar devices, departments, etc. in ranges of ip's. That also helps me remember addresses when needed. I can easily rememeber routers, switches, printers, servers, UPS's and on and on without having to look them up in other ways. At home I have 30 devices on my network. Not a ton, but again I find it easier to adress then. You only do it once and then forget it. Laptop, SB's, iPod users don't need to wait for an address when they power up and never lose their leases.
