I don't think it will make much difference because the Slim network protocol includes a discovery and advertising mechanism that allows Squeezebox components to recognize each other in milliseconds. Depending on your network topology you are however likely to benefit from assigning a static IP address to LMS as this machine will also be accessed through other networking protocols (HTTP, telnet). One benefit that I see myself is that when you tell the DHCP server to assign static IP addresses based on MAC you can usually also assign it a static name by which you will always be able to find it, even after a factory reset.
