DNS Workstation Registration

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

What are the pros and cons of registering only servers in AD DNS vs.
registering both servers and workstations (W2k and XP) in an
implementation that will also include WINS? I am particularly
interested in the benefits of workstation DNS registration and the
adverse impacts of not DNS-registering workstations.
