  I'd go for fully assembled.  Or at a minimum all SMT loaded.  I think
  it would be crazy (maybe a little too strong of a word) to do just the
  high pin count parts and not all the rest of the SMT.  I'm assuming that
  whoever is getting these built is going to use somebody with an SMT line.
  Just batch them up and run the whole build.  While you're at it, have
  them reflow all the through-hole too ;)  

  The novelty of soldering parts has worn off for me ;)

  There will be plenty of s/w and firmware challenges for those afraid
  that these projects might turn into an "appliance".
