do I need to maintain with RADB?

It's not entirely free since you have to pay an AS maintenance fee and if you are assigned a netblock directly then you pay maintenance on that also. I would rather maintain everything in one place rather than paying an extra $495 to RADB if my BGP peers can source it from ARIN.

But I pay for all that already, so it seems that using ARIN is a no-brainer.
