The sole reason that I build my own rather then trusting someone else
comes down to the trust factor.
When I build my own, I have complete control over the build quality and
component quality. I don't have to worry that the shop is using cheaper
no-name parts in order to pad their bottom-line. I also find that I
come pretty close to their price, especially once you start looking at
performance per dollar numbers.
Other then that reason, if you can find a local shop that will build to
exact specs and offer a 3 year warranty, go with a local shop.
