Dynamic has been the standard best practice for more than two decades.
Last week, at a client where I am not the networking consultant, I had a networking consultant tell me that they use static IP on EVERYTHING because it makes DNS better.
I tried to get that part of the contract a year ago and was shot down
One could argue, I suppose, that in a non-AD environment that that might be true. Can still be done, but isn't quite so obviously easy and transparent. But that would just be people being lazy.
And why does one need DNS references to workstations in those cases anyway?

Except this was a discussion about workstations in an AD (SBS2008) environment

No idea.
