I prefer instance loggers, as a rule but not always. For one thing this allows 
me to determine the logger's identity via a call to 'getClass()'. Mainly, 
though, it's the scope of the variable. In an instance context I prefer 
instance or local variables. In a static context I prefer local variables, 
occasionally static memebers. I determine the scope of the logger variable by 
the scope of its use.

Logging is a standard enough aspect that I don't find it offputting in the logic.
