MAC spoofing is trivially easy. You should be running the highest level of encryption your devices support. If something only supports WEP, replace it.
WPA2 (or WPA) with pre-shared keys is the most practical for home users.
WPA2 (or WPA) with Radius if you are feeling lucky, or don't mind beating your head against a brick wall.
Not broadcasting your SSID helps, but not much.

I agree with all your points here using every security feature you have at your disposal is the way to go.
