  I have a positive inclination towards sandbox solution provided i am not dealing with too complex solution of functionality.Its always good as this can be administer without elevated privileges of farm admin. Further, Server access or handling is not needed. But Farm solutions have its own advantages(complex solution and keeping Information workers away from behind the scene events).

  Have a read about requirement/need of sandbox

  Thanks for the reply Ashish. I am looking at if i should tell the end users to not use a "Saved Site Template" but rather pass it on to dev that can export it and convert it into a farm solution? The users obviously like creating and using site and list templates on the fly but is it going to create a problem from maintenance/upgrade point of view? Is going for a farm solution better?

  If the User control on deployment is required, Sandbox is the right candidate. As Users are going to manage their solution, They can handle it pretty easily for any further upgrades. There should be a process in place where any upgrade or maintenance should be communicated to them so that they keep the back of solutions.

  Picking/Allowing right set of people to do the task of creating site templates and list templates plays a important in deciding the maintenance factor. Allowing all to create templates is not advised. 

  If you are thinking that converting it to a farm solution for prod deployment, If Good, but That will minimize the benefits of using sandbox solution, You will be taking out rights from your information workers to use sandbox solution. Further any changes does on the template will make life difficult when you need to propagate that change to Production, that to as a farm solution.

  I will suggest you to go with the sandbox solution and allow access to users who understands this really well. Further instruct them on managing their solution.

  When you saved a site, do all the artifacts in that WSP get disconnected from the file server? If I change my custom master page or CSS or custom web part, all of which reside in the file system, will the site created out of that saved site template reflect those changes?

  My main concern is around some future changes not propagating in the sites created from these site templates. I don't want stuff getting unghosted and causing me a problem later. That is the reason why i was inclined to go with a farm solution to start with.

  While saving site as a template, you get an option(checkbox) to save that with content.so newly created site based on that template will have that content.
