Lifehacker today covered pro's and con's of public and ISP's DNS usage. From one point of view: using public DNS sometimes may slow down your browsing experience, because of CDN usage from content provider side and if you use public DNS, content provider will use CDN server nearest to your DNS provider location (e.g. USA if you use Google DNS) not yours IP and you're in trouble if you are in another country. The most significant slowdown you can observe surfing Youtube or other sites with "heavy" content.
On the other hand using your ISP's DNS records sometimes take up to 48 hours if you make some DNS record changes while if using Google's or OpenDNS it takes maximum up to 1 hour, sometimes virtually instant.
What's your choice and experience?
