Personally I would still rent a VPS.
My initial impression is that Spread Masternodes are a HUGE improvement in terms of ease of setup and administration vs. Darkcoin Masternodes. Which is great, until a bunch of Windows users get hacked and lose their Spread. And the service levels of a constantly fluctuating MN network (more so than Darkcoin as home users join/leave) remain to be seen. I don't see there being too many issues with this, but we'll have to see how well the network performance scales.
We'll need to make cold storage easily doable for people.
It's still very early, but I'm pretty damn excited at present.
