If this is your first go at it, I'd recommend getting a really good 
brief on it and also do acceptance/failure/etc testing before 
production.  This will really help you understand how it works and how 
to troubleshoot in the event something goes wrong in production.

Depending on your time frame, if you can I would wait for the Sup2Ts to 
come out.

With that said, I've had very good experiences with VSS.
