There seems to be two schools of thought for desktop deployment: Image-based deployment and script-based deployment. Lately, I've taken a hybrid approach -- Using an image with about 60% of the standard software load plus a large install script kicked-off via GuiRunOnce. This script detects the PC model and branches accordingly (touchpad drivers/VPN/iPass for laptops and etc). The nice thing about the script approach is that I can update a software version by simply replacing the setup files rather than having to roll-up a new image. OTOH, the image-based approach makes for faster deployment.
