How many segments?
3-4 Segments

Transparent or routed
Still testing both methods to determine what will be the best fit for
our environment. I am currently leaning toward routed due to the load
balancing option.

Transparent or routed?

If you have a lot of feature requirements,
and multiple segments... probably easier to
manage if you do routed.

(We're doing it the other way, and it
ain't much fun.)

If you network is ultra-simple, then
transparent is ok.  But you lose some
capabilities, as you would expect, when
you run in transparent.
