mainly because I don't trust liquid yeast to be shipped during the hot months, nor do I have a local source for any. Not driving down to Brewstock in New Orleans just for yeast. Maybe I'll start using liquid once LA Homebrew gets up and running.
I only use Liquid yeast. I get it from Austin Homebrew, and never had a problem with utilization even during the hot summer months. However, i do make a starter for every brew, with the liquid yeast and add some yeast nutrient. I don't trust dry yeast to work right away, even when rehydrated.
My last starter for White Labs Irish Ale was so vigorous that my starter had a blowoff. And then 1.5 days after pitching, i had an epic blowff even with a blowoff tube attached. I lost 1/5 gallon of beer due to blowoff.
I prefer white labs, as well, for my starters, compared to wyeast.

Also, i've made the decision to hold off and brew next weekend.
Brewing my kalaidescope of hops, christmas IPA. Mosaic, Chinook, Cascade, Simcoe.
Will probably make a starter Thursday and brew next saturday.
This weekend, i'll be making a smoked duck/smoked chicken and andouille gumbo.
