If name branding is one of your main objectives then it's probably a good idea to use your name. However, you also have to realize that if you decide to sell the domain later on, it will be much harder to sell, as the URL is of personal nature. As far as keywords in the domain I don't believe it's going to help much. I'm sure the SE's may give that keyword a little more weight, but I highly doubt it's much at all. It always comes down to the quality and quantity of incoming links. I have my name registered, but don't use it for anything for the time being. The main reason I don't use it is because of my previous statement; I may decide to sell my site(s) at a later date. And what about when I die? My son (or wife) will get the site(s) and unless one becomes an online marketer, they'll probably sell them, as they won't know what else to do with them.
