My personal philosophy is to look at the business value. Does reinventing the wheel provide better value for our customers and is more important than what we could be doing otherwise?

I generally like to use external resources until they begin to cause problems. Only then do I think about investing something to replace them. This way I make sure not to invent the wrong thing at the wrong time.
