If you want to do radiosity in animations, make sure to use very 
high-quality settings to minimize any radiosity artifacts (which of 
course requires high render times, which you'll usually want to avoid in 
animations).

If your animation is limited to changes in camera perspective you can 
mitigate this drawback by re-using the radiosity samples from frame to 
frame. You may even get away with lower quality settings if you do two 
passes of the animation, one for collecting radiosity samples to cover 
all camera angles (this can be a low-resolution pass rendering only 
every N-th frame) and one for the actual render. (Without the first pass 
you might see some flickering at the border of areas the camera sees for 
the first time).
