Really depends on the type of code you are writing. If you're writing a Mars Rover, you're probably not using a single dynamic feature and static analysis works quite well in this case. So long as you're writing 'dead' software, you're better off with static analysis.
As soon as you try to write living software, that is, software able to evolve over time without restarting, static analysis goes out the window. Design by contract and test suites are your friends in this case.
