With my brief encounter trying to access windows shares on a LAN. I 
found konqueror better than nautilus with connecting to the windows LAN.

Nautilus asked for a password for every directory that I changed to. 
Konqueror only asked for the password once and was able to dive into 
subdirectories.

I prefer GNOME as a desktop. I think the choice is a matter of which 
desktop you feel meets your needs. KDE works decent also.
