Well some of that depends on what b/w you need and what CPU power you have to hand.
Running Nstreme or EOIP creates some overhead, so on slow <266MHz CPUs you get very little - 5 or 10Mbps typically.
Without Nstreme things go slow on long links due to ACK timing, you really need Nstreme for those.
I did try EOIP early on tesing MT and it worked fine, but that was on a slow CPU so we dropped it.
I'm not sure how you intend using NAT, you don't need that for a transparent bridged link - with WDS, it's the same subnet each end and MT works out what traffic to send either way.
A routed connection runs faster than bridged, and comparing with other MT users, the difference is between 83Mbps and 86Mbps UDP on fast CPU, 5GHz Turbo with Nstreme.
I think there's a WDS bridged example in the online manual, that's what we used and it works great.
Good luck,
