My preferences (in order):

1. Go "all DIP", $30 isn't too much of a hit.
2. Use SMD where necessary. Provide soldering hints, maybe even a few jpegs.
3. Have the SMD parts pre-soldered.

Also consider what would be best for your "if it doesn't work, return 
it and I'll fix it for you" policy. If half of the SMD kits all come 
back to you for repairs, you're probably better off soldering the SMD 
parts yourself. How much do you trust us to get it right?
