So far, an ambit 256 modem, my own wireless router and Virgin's 20mb connection has been stable and reliable, so I don't know if I should consider taking a leap of faith now for the extra 10MB speed increase or just wait 6 months or so for the firmware bugs to be worked out with the superhub and then ask for the upgrade.

Generally for basic use it be fine.
Timeouts I dont experience on outbound connections, eg. I can hold ssh connections fine to servers I manage. So I think thats only an issue on inbound connections.
The ping problem is a non issue if you dont need to ping yourself eg. dont use line quality graphs.
The missing features will depend if you need them or not.
For all but the timeout problems so far that I know off the DMZ workaround will resolve, however some things cannot be fixed with double NAT like voip functions on routers. As far as I know the WOL issue has no fix yet either.
VM let me keep my dir615 router which I expect will be the case with every self install, so DMZ will be an option to you with that.
