Greetings Gino,
The benefits I have found with Hudson and its little brother Jenkins is one 
gets a consistent and automated build and installation system.   Its 
integration into the version control repository be it Subversion, Git, or 
whatever is your pick tends to support a wide variety software engineering 
models.

Other qualities I have benefited from is the consistency with things like 
permissions and all of the little things that act like weeds if one is trying 
to build these things from the developer's environment to the next.   It also 
frees up a project from the quirks of individual development environments which 
can vary from person to person and project to project.

In the end, the benefit list is a list of little things.  If those little 
things matter, then the answer is clear.  For my production environment, it 
does and it makes sense.

V/R,
