I think it all depends on the individual blogger. Someone new needs something easy and cheap / free should go with free hosting. Someone who is experienced on the net and or really serious about making a super blog and sticking with it should go with a self-host route. You can always go to self host from free hosting so I'd say a great place to start is free hosting but if you see it picking up and really go for it; do yourself a favour and get a domain! If you ever need any help we're here for you.
