Web Service client - static versus dynamic

I have a WSDL URI with me and I'm about to write a web service client to access the service. It seems we can create a static client or a dynamic client. For static clients, we create and compile the client stubs in advance and in the case of dynamic clients, the stubs are generated and invoked at runtime.

I would like to know about the practical scenarios where we choose dynamic clients over static clients. I understand that there is a performance penalty when creating the stubs at runtime in the case of dynamic clients. So, what are the use cases when we need a dynamic client?

Has anyone used dynamic invocation successfully in your projects/company?

I was going to say it myself but remembered this text I came across, which I think has a clear description of the various techniques

So it is really down to you to decide which best suits your scenario, based on speed vs flexibility and simplicity vs complexity.
