Thank you arlen,
Thank you Les,

By contrast: if you use GoDaddy for registration and then configure your domains to use Linode's DNS servers:
* If GoDaddy's UI goes down, you can still change records via Linode
* If Linode's UI goes down, you can change your nameservers via GoDaddy and use either their DNS or somebody else's
Of course, all that goes out the window if the issue affects actual DNS lookups and not just the web UIs, but there have been numerous situations in the past where GoDaddy's UI has gone down but their underlying DNS for customer zones stayed up.
Another consideration: most people I've talked to (and myself) find the Linode DNS Manager to be infinitely more user-friendly than GoDaddy's panel.

As far as I can understand, as long as I set the name servers to point to Linode's in GoDaddy Domain Manager, it is ok to use both DNS manager. I'll likely keep them in GoDaddy since I've been using its panel for a long while now, perhaps switch to Linode later.
Thank you.
