Can anyone shed some light onto some good homeplug sets and/or how well they will perform?

Thanks
I think the only problem you may have is throughput. I have tried two 200mb homeplugs before now on the same 4 way strip with no surge protection and never achieved more than 4MB/s.
I use my 80mb pair to connect the attic to the router downstairs and I only normally get around 2MB/s. This is fine even for watching blu-rays etc but not so good for file transfers.
