I'd only recommend a fixed camera position for certain types of games. If you were making an R-Type style game (a sideways "scroller") you might choose to use a static camera and move the objects past it. The reason for this is that all objects move in the same direction (with perhaps a few exceptions) but in a space sim where more directions are involved, its probably easier for you to use a dynamic camera.
