I'll use OAuth if it's the only option, but only if it uses certain services.
Personally, I like there being an email signup option or even - shocker - the option of using the site without having to create an account.

I think it's safe enough to assume that most mature frameworks that offer OAuth logins will also have decent local account options too, so it shouldn't be much extra work.
