Why XP pro over XP home? I thought that pro just had some remote admin hooks in it.

Home is terrible. Try to avoid it. I don't remember all of the specific reasons, but a quick google search should turn up plenty of sites about the differences.

I have two machines, a desktop running XP Pro, and a laptop running XP Home. There is no difference between the two that would be noticed by an independent user (e.g. not a corporation running an intranet). Unless you run a large intranet and are concerned with pushing policy changes on your network clients, you don't need to spend the extra money on Pro. Just run a decent firewall and a/v, and you'll be fine. And you'll be able to run 99.99% of the software available, unlike Linux.
There are plenty of sites around that will help you with detailed guides on how to tweak XP for best performance, reliability and security.
www.tweaktown.com is one that I can remember off the top of my head.
