I switched a long time ago from WEP WDS to homeplug and never regretted it. Ping times are much, much better and throughput is much better too.

Of course, DD-WRT bridging supports whatever your main router supports regardless of whether that main router is running DD-WRT or not. I used to use it for extending WPA2-AES (maximum strength encryption for consumer units, I believe) around the house before everything was hardwired.
