Dynamic memory management is a good choice in this case but this is
off topic.

Why is it not a best practice when there is only one SQL instance?

Ok, I try to explain in other words:
'max server memory' is cleary an sql option
On win2000 server Microsoft "strongly recommend" to set max server
memory option always to optimize AWE enabled system.
On win2003 server, setting the min and max server memory options are
"only" a best pratice when there are more than one instance on a node
or in case of a fail over occours.

'max server memory' is a SQL Server configuration setting regardless of what
OS the SQL instance may be running on. It's generally a good idea to cap the
SQL Server buffer pool size (and set the min server memory) so that you avoid
all this give-and-take of memory at the OS level.

cut and paste from one of million msdn articles about this recommended
setting for "windows 2000" (and not sql server enterprise or other sql
server version)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190731.aspx
----------------------------------------------------
For Windows 2000, unless a value has been specified for max server
memory, SQL Server reserves almost all available memory during
startup, leaving 128 megabytes (MB) or less physical memory for other
applications. (When AWE is not enabled the amount of physical memory
left for other applications can be controlled by max server memory.)
For Windows Server 2003, the AWE mapped memory management is dynamic,
so that only a small portion of the total available physical memory is
allocated during startup.

It applies to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition as well. See at

In addition on Linchi's comment , do you consider to set MAX memory for
SQL
Server?

this setting is recommended on a win2000 os only.
