I've done extensive testing, WDS is just as reliable as wired,however at first we had issues with some AP that would not respond and needed to be rebooted. But if its possible to wire the AP< you should since WDS will eat alot of bandwidth and also decrease the range since most the AP will have to be within range of eachother, way more than overlapping coverage

Alberto:

I would suggest you try to keep all the AP on the same channel. With that large of a space I wouldnt expect too much interferance from the outside.

I think it's cleary true that wiring WIFI infrastructure is easier and
more reliable then WDS.

On the other hand,  I have been running my little network with WDS for
over three weeks now, and it has been completely reliable.

The tricks where to configure things properly and to have the bases
closer together then one would think would be needed.

Once this was setup. It works, and it keeps working.  We had a couple
of stress tests also, one black out and one unplugged router
(carpenter).

Came up cleanly and continued working fine.  No mis-registrations and
no problems.
