There are really no differences between dynamic and static fields performance-wise that I know of.
Personally, though, I tend to prefer static over dynamic from a maintenance/debugging perspective. At issue is tracking down why results weren't as expected, then spending several days discovering that I managed to mis-spell some field in my docs, in my SolrJ program or in my queries. A variant of the "fail early" notion. Dynamic fields have great uses, but I think you're better off using static when possible.
