Well you have to take in account that the bind that you need for AD is 
9.8 and that you need the dlz plugin, I'm not sure that for zone managed 
by dlz you can do shared key update (from isc dhcp) you have to know 
that the code for dlz is also quite new and so potentially buggy as well.

Things that you can do with bind:

* zone transfer (having slaves of your dlz managed zone, TBC)
I would say that I think that bind is more robust than samba's DNS 
server but that has to be proved.
