Many domain registrars are notoriously sluggish to help you change your registration to another vendor. If you lock your domain, and then it expires and you want to grab it from another vendor - it may be tougher. (Of course - DON'T let it expire then :)) I'll also mention that Dreamhost allows you to lock your own domains, but doesn't have the option on by default.
