Looking here:

It seems like the majority of people stack, however I did see someone talking about stacking switches (especially core switches) as "playing with fire" I imagine in part due to the fact that it acts as one logical unit, and the entire stack could go down, which is perhaps why FHRPs are mentioned quite heavily in the CCNA
The biggy I guess is the issue of resiliency

Do you stack your switches? If so, which "tiers" do you stack at? ie: core, distribution, access. Do you do it differently in the DC than locally too? What are your reasons behind it
