I am definitely not the best person for a response on this list, but as
far as wireless I myself wouln't even consider it.  For one I have had
enough trouble with wireless connection that have to be maintained
steady over a period of time.  Even when you have full signal wireless
tends to drop enough packets here and there to disconnect your service,
I would think this would be havock in LTSP.  Second I tried LTSP with
10mb connections and it sucked.  I can't fathom any wireless connection
that would sustain enough bandwidth to make your users happy.  Then you
have the fun of finding a wireless NIC that has good linux drivers.

That being said I am sure someone on the list is using it right now and
would argue everything above while sending an email from it :-)
