Well, a DVD works when you have limited or no Internet access.

As for me, my preferred method is is Network Install CDs. You'll be 
doing network updater later anyway; might as well start sooner.

On the other hand, if you're going to do many installs, you want your 
own copy of the entire distribution, or at least the parts you're going 
to use.
