I went the static site route (shout out to Blogofile (http://www.blogofile.com) because I didn't trust anyone but me to run my server and I got tired of running Wordpress and Drupal myself. I paid NearlyFreeSpeech.NET $20 a year ago to host the static files and have about half that still credited to my account.
OK, it's not for everyone. Initial setup certainly wasn't for the faint of heart. But it was fun and replacing my host is as easy as finding another cheap host for text files and jpegs. It was worth it to me.
