Use OpenDNS here - it's one of the first things I do if I reinstall OS X. I really enjoy the auto correction feature - mistyping is my worst enemy 
. Never really got into Google's DNS as my philosophy regarding things that work applies here (if something works, no need to try a different brand).

I actually went with DynDns - as it actually has control over sites that will get through.
DynDNS.com Internet Guide - Surf Without the Sharks
With kids - I like being able to control from DNS what sites they can go to.

When you use OpenDNS, you get the Dashboard controls to manage your experience the way you want for you, your family or your organization. It is not the same with Google DNS.
Google realizes that DNS is a critical piece of our Internet’s infrastructure. Big enterprise customers are switching to OpenDNS too, not because it’s free but because it’s the best and add value to DNS and improve the security of their networks.
