I am wondering what are the benefits of a managed switch over unmanned,
and what are the benefits of an unmanaged switch over a managed switch.
If money was not an issue which one would you use and why. If you had a
network full of unmanaged switches, would you switch to managed switches?
or would you leave them as unmanaged switches.

It depends on what you want to gain.
Managed switches often have features like enabling or disabling ports, port security, configuring Vlans (and als VLAN-Trunking). Most of them also support Spanning-Tree to avoid loops and get redundancy. If you have a bigger network, you need these features to make it reliable.
