BIND has never failed me. I've never needed any other, and BIND has
always been there, ready to go on every distro I've ever used. Why not
learn such a simple and ubiquitous tool?
Unless you're an ISP I predict your time and energy spent leaving BIND
won't buy you any noticeable improvement for any metric. If the R&D is
fun, feel free. I'd still learn BIND first if I were you so you have
the knowledge to tweak what you'll find by default on the vast majority
of servers you run into.
