I can't comment on anything else, but after trying to get a .NET WinForms application
(mentioned in some of the bugs I filed) for a few months under the 3 options of 
native linux mono, wine+.NET and wine+mono, I can say that win32 mono uses P/Invoke
*differently* from how .NET2 does it, and the missing APIs required to get an
application to work with the wine + win32 mono and wine +MS.NET combo is different.
So some part of the applications runs better with wine + win32 mono and some better
with wine + MS.NET ... win32 mono and MS.NET just seems to have different native code dependencies.
