I currently have a Filezilla FTP server setup on my main Windows box
(Shameful I know) to share music and films to house mates, I used to
use DHCP but they couldn't be bothered looking through each IP address
till they found me, so I went static.
Like the other guys the advice I'd offer is try and use a high number
that is unlikely to be given out by the DHCP. Because I tried using
192.168.1.2 (all IPs are 192.168.1.X on my network) and it ended up
messing the entire network up, as the other computers on the network
were insistant that DHCP give them 192.168.1.2 (I suspect the router
remember their MAC address from before going static and auto-assigned
the last IP it gave it). I in the end had to use 192.168.1.10, and as
theres only 6 computers .10 will never be given out by DHCP.
