I don't know much about the Ubiquiti stuff (we use Radwin) but i'd try 
to use routing as much as possible in conjunction with a decent routing 
protocol (OSPF, etc) and ip helper-address (or local DHCP in every 
remote).  When using bridging, you're carrying broadcasts everywhere, 
not to mention potential loop / delay problems if you're not using 
spanning tree.  It's all a matter of getting the information about what 
you want to achieve and what are the needs:

- End to end QoS (if you're doing VoIP, etc)
- Redundancy (Links, routers, branch access, Internet access, etc)
- Manageability
- Performance and monitoring (SNMP/RMON, SLA, etc)
- Security
- Remote access
- etc!

With all these infos, we can come up with a design that will match the 
needs and choose the right stuff.

As for the comment about Cisco Vs mOnOwall (better performance), you 
compare oranges and apples.  Cisco has products that are able to route 
multi-gigabit so no problem with performance whatsoever...  I use and 
respect a lot mOnOwall for what it is but it is an entry level 
solution.  Cisco supports much more protocols and has enterprise 
features mOnOwall can't match.  That being said, mOnOwall may be able to 
do the job and be a great bargain for SOHO shops.  It all depends on 
your needs as stated above.
