While i Haven bought a "homeplug" ethernet combination it would be what i would buy based on what i have heard about them. The speed would be consistent and be faster than wireless at a distance from the router as the data goes over the mains cable. ie the drop off is faster for wireless over distance. Theres no problem with people hacking your wireless network either since its a physical connection.
