never seen an absolute need for DHCP that outweighs the risk of allowing
unauthorized PC's to get on your network.  At least make an intruder
work for it.

Again, I've never seen the need to NOT run DHCP that outweighed the
administrative overhead of doing it manually.

Static IPs vs. DHCP is getting off-topic. However for those who are interested, there was a very long discussion about this very subject earlier this year. Interested readers can browse the archive, http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/105, or even better, search the archive by visiting SecurityFocus, clicking search, and selecting SEC-BASICS from the drop down list.
