S9s are still pretty unreliable and there can be issues straight out of the box. Repair isn't exactly cheap for these units in a lot of cases but if the price is right then go for it. I would personally try to buy an Avalon A7 before considering an S9. Bitcoin mining profits have stayed actually relatively good for the last year due to the price of bitcoin increasing. It's unclear from this point where difficulty and price will go, but for both I expect an upward trend. GPUs also require slightly more maintenance than ASICs, though one rig isn't a whole lot to worry about.
If I were going to buy an ASIC miner now, I'd definitely buy a Canaan Avalon 741. Yes, it's not as efficient as the Bitmain S9, but it's more reliable. If you can wait until the new year, you might keep your eyes open for a new miner from Canaan. The rumor is that it will be in the 14 TH/S range which will place it on par with the S9, and if it is more reliable, then it will be a winner in my book.
However, this IS the crypto currency miner space, and delivery dates are never what they are promised or rumored to be.
