I'm running #pihole in recursive #DNS mode and having everything in my home and my public /29 use it as the main DNS server.
The good things? Ad/tracker blocking on things that don't have built in ad/tracker blocking like certain phone apps, less spam (I host my main mail server locally), reduced monitoring from my Internet provider.
The bad things? Single point of failure. If pihole is down, everything else is as well.
