They cost virtually *nothing* more on a day to day basis if implemented
properly (ignoring initial implementation costs)

Stick with DHCP, less client-side configuration required.  

Configure the DHCP server to issue new IPs based on a sort order, oldest
unused IP first.  

Next, you need to make sure you maintain the MAC address / IP address
tables past expiry, so that even if the DHCP lease is 24 hours and I
leave a machine off 168 hours, I'll still get the same IP.

You will virtually never see IPs changing except when a machine has been
off long enough that all of the available IPs have been used at least
once.  Obviously if you're overselling, this won't work as well, but it
should work as long as you have a few more IPs in each block then you
have customers.
