I am going to try to factor in the Pros and Cons of all sides here.
Dedicated Servers:
* Enable the community to tweak and mod, and play their creations
* Enable pirates to play their games, without getting caught
* Enable playing games without getting hit with ads.
Non-Dedicated:
* Better control over the game environment, to make sure it doesn't get out of wack, and people cheat
* Crack down on piracy, forcing only legal copy of the games to be played.
* Generate ad revenues and other streams of income, by forcing all traffic to a common community point. This also helps players find new players.
