I'd strongly suggest you go the traditional approach ('form submit style'),
as it's easy, and it fits the internet. As in, the URLs make sense, your
pages are indexable, and it all works (crappily, but it works, and it works
with screenreaders for the blind, phone browsers, etc, etc) anywhere, even
without javascript. The GWT/GMail model makes sense mostly for GMail-type
apps (single URL where you do it all), not for your standard webpage or even
webapp.
Then throw in as much jQuery as you can to move the User Interaction parts
of your site from 'pure crud, are we in the 90s still?' to shiny, usable,
no-frustration goodness.
As a side-benefit to all this the server-side code becomes relatively simple
too.
I have no idea which of lift and/or play fit the bill to do this, but gun to
my head I vaguely recall Play is much more based around this kind of model
than lift is.
