I agree. DHCP is very simple to set up, and it won't cause any problems for
machines that don't use it.
Just make sure you don't have multiple DHCP servers running on the same
network.
I prefer running a "real" DHCP server as opposed to one in a router or access
point - The embedded ones are just too limited, for example you can't pass
a "next server" parameter with most router dhcp servers.
