This is a new one for me, as I've been playing mostly with Chemtool. It
does look promising (once I figure out a few things :).
The nice thing about the LaTeX packages is the quality of the image
created (mostly concerning typsetting the characters against line
drawings). It's less of an issue for teaching purposes, but I'm a
stickler for appearance (my reason for using LyX).
Cheers,
