I do one-way sync in the mornings to load up my calendar updates and it works pretty well. It's important for me to have updated calendar information at my work machine. However, I had to move everything off the Exchange server onto a .pst file (probably not an issue for you at home) in order for MobileMe to support it.

If you're doing sync with Windows XP/Outlook, I'd say just ease into it and take it easy, see if it's good enough for you, before diving in.
