ifupdown everywhere here, as on the one side it simplifies bridge
configuration and makes for a minimal/transparent config, and on the other
I find it pretty convenient to add new networks to wpa_supplicant.conf,
where it's also easy to set per-network priorities if I'm going to have a
particular preference of wireless network for any measure of time.
For my laptop, jumping between the two modes is quite literally effortless:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
pre-up /sbin/mii-tool eth0 | /bin/grep -qv "no link"
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
pre-up /sbin/mii-tool eth0 | /bin/grep -q "no link"
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
