Static ip as in, assign ip's through your router to each mac. Yes Virgin use dynamic which rarely changes anyway but with the router options use a lan ip setup with Mac address filtering as well.
Wpa/2 is secure with a good password. For the casual "piggybacker" your network will be secure. Mac address filtering is good to have, Yes you could clone a mac and kick people off their network but for the ordinary fools around you this will not be done. A vast amount of people "piggyback" on unsecure connections.
The Mac address filtering is a good backup as well if someone did happen to gain access to your network by bruteforcing the password.
Besides any good network that does have wireless will have access restriected to mac's along with the added security of WPA/2.
My advice dont listen to the scare mongering that it still not safe..
Lets face nothing is really safe, anything can be cracked given time and money....
