Windows clients should run logon scripts to mount directories on their systems. There is no reason to hold a debate on NFS vs. SMB mounts for Linux clients. There are vast differences between file & group ownership, file locks, and it's far better to know how to use both and be knowledgable enough to draw your own conclusions - who better to understand your needs and your setup than you?
