I have exactly the same arrangement. I have used dongles from BT, Vodafone and 3 without much difficulty.
But there is a clear winner in terms of being OSS/Linux friendly. Vodafone have the Betavine project which is fully backed by the company and produces open source device support - including dongle drivers and monitoring software packedged for many distros. I use it and it's a good effort that voda should be commended for.
