I agree with net culture; relatively cheap and gives more control over search results.

But then you don’t benefit from your university’s search rankings.

SEO doesn't exactly work like that, at lest not for everybody. Google my name, I bet you my website is before all the ones UCL created for me.

Sure enough. I was basing my comment on the experience a colleague had when he moved from university hosting to a custom domain. He said the page rank dropped significantly.

tbh, search rankings are a bit mysterious. My approach is to keep the uni-page minimal and have it prominently link to my (wordpress-hosted, but domain-purchased) personal website. Seems to work well.

And for people who might not stay at a given uni very long. The worst is trying to look someone up and finding them on a lab's page only to learn they left said lab years ago.

I leave HTTP 301 Moved Permanently redirects at each old institution pointing to my current one. It mitigates that somewhat since the personal page won’t show up at the old institution. Doesn’t help with out of date lab pages.
