Using a plugin is always a quick and easy thing to do, until it goes wrong. I am a fan of less plugins (unless you really need them) and more hard-code reason is that you then have full control of what goes into your project.
And at the comment on “plugins can become outdated and that…” i think you answered your own question with that one line 🙂
Write more, worry about less -> thats my motto 😀
