I disagree. A properly configured DHCP reservation is better than a manually configured static IP whenever it is possible to use one (it isn't always). As an example. In a DHCP environment if you wanted to change the DNS server settings of all your machines you would do it in one place and then just reboot everything. Job done. If you have manual Static IPs you have to change each machine. Ok in a typical home network that's not usually much of an issue but when you get to a dozen or so servers it definitely is. It's all about the admin overhead. With a decent DHCP server it is possible to have different "scopes" For different machines such that they can have different gateways (and thus be subject to different firewalling) or DNS servers dependent upon purpose etc.
