Well, I think it depends on your existing setup and requirements.

The original poster states that they currently have *no* vlans between 
sites; therefore any move to do this is a new service, with all the 
learning experiences and issues associated.

The OP also says they're using VTP.

I agree with Oli: It makes sense to avoid this if possible. But it's a 
matter of personal opinion.
