Why pick a stratum 1 server? Most people don't need it and should pick
a stratum 2 server.

Quote from http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Serv...esOfEngagement :
"As the load on the hosts supporting NTP primary (stratum 1) time service
is heavy and always increasing, clients should avoid using the primary
servers whenever possible. In most cases the accuracy of the NTP
secondary (stratum 2) servers is only slightly degraded relative to the
primary servers and, as a group, the secondary servers may be just as
reliable."
