I'm a lazy person so for me, I'm going straight to managed so that I don't have to do any of the extra work in keeping things up to date but I know the more technical people around here may want to manage things themselves. So when choosing your hosting, do you opt for the un-managed or managed options? I couldn't imagine budgeting the time aside to manage large server issues on top of everything else so kudos to those who do.
If you do opt for managing your own server, why do you that? What benefits does it give you?
