I have used WMI just for finding the serialnumber of machine, everything else is handled by WSH.
And my scripts are in the range of 500 to 10 K lines, and I have done some 3000+ migrations with these scripts.
So, I can say WSH is no problem if you know what you want to do.
besides that, WSH will be consistent across OS version. (at least NT and above, I have tested)
while WMI has different number of classes available on different OS version. (more recent OS will have more classes)
so if you find a class you want to use, you have to make sure that it is supported by all the OS version you going to run the script on.
Generally, If i can do a task by WSH easily, i will not use WMI. ( you will tend to know the difference as you use them more and more)
Good start for you would be the Microsoft Technet Script Center.

If you are Windows and above and don't need REG_MULTI_SZ updates, I would go
for WSH (pretty simple model).
If you need to do more complex stuffs, I would use WMI (which is actually
used from WSH as it is the scripting engine).
