For commuting, especially longer ones where you need to be able to see, the only reason not to get a dynamo set up is cost/outlay.
If you have the cash go for it.

I have a SON, one of those E3s and a tiny rear light. I got in the summer for PBP and just love the convenience of it all. No having to remember anything, ever. My only problem with it is I think taht I want a flashing rear.

So undecided on dynamos, can't decide if its overkill for commuting when an ebay special (http://goo.gl/e8uXLe) with periodic recharge has served so well thus far.
I love the idea of fit and forget but no fork crown mount is putting me off a bit too, currently have the light on a Paul Gino mount on my 'guard mount half way up the fork - gives a fair bit of shadow but good enough.
Its going to get darker now though and will be first winter on the new (longer) commute - decisions, decisions. I know if I went for it, I'd probs go all out too.
This is a bit of a beauty (and could mount on bars or the gino mount)
