Something I always liked to know is:
Do you ever (want to) administer drupal with your default login. (i.e. how 
many people have a separate account to administer)

I think an well founded answer to that will make our future choices a lot 
easier: Does the admin menu need to be part of navigation menu, How well 
would an admin theme help (for the record, i think admin themes are not a 
good idea), would a default administer role help etc.
