Although I'm generally leaning this way I don't think it is for everyone. I'm currently using serendipity with a whole block of custom code duck taped on for the non-blog areas of my personal site.
When I put that code together it did everything I wanted and seemed to be fairly flexible. That was over a year ago now and I'm again considering a complete rewrite because making even small changes is just too painful.
If you can clearly see how you'll be using your site a year from now then rolling your own may work well for you. If not then you may come to regret not taking the time to leverage an existing project.
