Are you planning on possibly moving the RSS feed? If the answer is "yes" to either of these questions, then you should consider FeedBurner. If the answer is "definitely not" to both questions, then there's really no reason to use it. From my experience (both as a producer and a subscriber), FeedBurner does nothing to enhance the end user's experience. But I've seen FeedBurner problems cause some headaches for content creators. Like anything, you've got to weigh the potential advantages against potentially unknown technical problems. Do you need metrics are on your RSS feed? Are you planning on possibly moving the RSS feed?
