Mac filtering and ssid cloaking will probably make no difference whatsoever to somebody who already knows enough to bypass the encryption key itself.
Cloning authorized macs and unmasking hidden ssid`s is as simple as installing and configuring the relevant tools for the job.

@op Your obviously intent on using the wire but if you do need to use the wireless then just make sure you`re using as long and complex a WPA/2 passphrase as possible and not any names or words out a dictionary etc...and certainly dont be using any WEP.
