Hi John H,
I would also encourage you to check out a recent blog post on the GWT blog
by fellow GWT developers Chris Klundt and Eric Wuebben, who talk about their
strategy on applying CSS styles (link below). Hopefully from what was
discussed here and in the blog, you will be able to find out what approach
works best for you.

GWT: No need to shortchange your style:
http://googlewebtoolkit.blogspot.com/2008/12/gwt-no-need-to-shortchange-your-style.html

Regarding performance, whether you set properties like width and height in
GWT code or in CSS doesn't make a huge difference. What does matter is how
you go about applying the CSS styles (for example, how you use CSS selectors
to style your application). For this topic, you should get a good number of
reads by performing a web search for terms like "CSS performance".

Hope that helps,
-Sumit Chandel
