Depends. If you are talking riding single track where you might have to hike-a-bike for any appreciable time, a dynamo hub isn't practical. Off-road riding is also enhanced by a helmet light...try negotiating a switch back without being able to see into it Dynamo systems don't work for helmet lights.
