I currently use iRule with a GC-100-12 (using both RS232 to my G68 and Lumagen, and then IR to some other devices) and an iTach Flex with the RS232 to the Oppo player. It works very well except I'm sick of a purely touch screen remote, and so I'm currently setting up a Harmony Elite with some hard-wired IR links via a Xantech splitter connected to the Harmony's hub.
It seems none of the hard button remotes are easily capable of controlling all IP devices. The Harmony hub has WiFi but doesn't let you enter IP strings. The URC MX-5000 lets you enter IP strings, but simple HTTP strings need to be fully entered (i.e. the full HTTP header that is sent over TCP rather than just the URL with the remote handling the HTTP protocol) rather than trivially done like iRule. Maybe Neeo will be the one remote to rule them all, if they ever ship!
