That's what I do too.  I have IP addresses mapped to MAC addresses for 
all my devices on my network.  The only exceptions are my 
firewall/router and my main desktop system, both of which are static 
config.  Also, on IPv6, there's no need for DHCP, as one address on each 
device is based on the MAC address or, in some cases, a static random 
number.
