Should a Static IP Address or Reserved DHCP Address be used?
What is considered the best practice for a non-domain network of about 12 PC's and about 5 printers as far as IP address assignments? Do assigning static address have a benefit over reserving an IP assignment in the DHCP, or the other way around? I know that both methods accomplish the same thing, that is keeping an address fixed to the hardware, but is there something that makes one method preferred over the other?

Here it all depends on what it is you want to achieve but you should first realize that in any form of Windows Workgroup there is a Upper Limit of 10 Concurrent Connections possible on the Professional and Above Versions of the OS.
So if all Desktops have to connect with 1 printer you are likely to run into Dropped Connections along the way.
