I have used a few genealogy sites and have gone back to Ancestry. While I am not a huge fan of the new format it still is miles better than the 2 other online services I tried. Ancestry also has the most records of any service I tried.

Public family trees have been really useful. I recommend to everyone make your tree public as it allows for easier collaboration. 

Just remember that any photo you do upload becomes public domain.

I plan on trying out Ancestry's DNA testing soon. It looks interesting and I am curious to find out what other ancestors have been hiding in my background.
Pros
Better than other online genalogy services.
Cons
Old interface was better.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

While I was putting in the information for my family tree on Ancestry I notice that it pulled information from other users family trees. 

The problem is a lot of the information from the one family tree from a certain user was incorrect. I am not sure if the information was not verified or what. The info was from my immediate family so I know what was correct so I contacted the person requesting they make the changes. I did not hear back from the person at all and Ancestry apparently can not do anything about it to correct the tree. So the information will remain and the pictures will be for the wrong person.

I continue to use the Ancestry site as it does offer a lot. Just be careful of some users information for their family trees as it may be incorrect and if they are not currently using Ancestry there is nothing you can do to correct it. The government documents Ancestry offers is where they shine and make it well worth the subscription.
Pros
Easy to use and lots of records
Cons
Some of the user trees are incorrect and will cause issues with your own if related.
