I have pretty much 100% of it in DRIP if available only because it is free and increases my shares/dividends in the future as long as company can sustain it long term. I don't get huge amounts at a time and don't wait to pool it all together for another purchase.

Personally, I prefer to take it as cash. But... I do turn on the DRIP for certain holdings from time to time. <br /><br />High yield stocks can become overweight pretty quick with automatic reinvestments (not necessarily bad).
