FUD much? have you read the public-dns ToS and privacy statements? if you haven't you might want to: <https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/privacy>
What imho you'll want is a reliable resolver which is as close to you as possible (and have it do DNSSEC-validation etc.).
you might also want to read: <http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2013/03/google-public-dns-now-supports-dnssec.html> and for some (quite a few) users of 8.8.8.8 it's faster and closer than their ISP dns... which says something about the ISP provided DNS server(s) I suppose :( It's certainly not the answer for everyone, or everything, but shrugging it off for FUD reasons is just silly and makes little sense. -chris
