Just say for the sake of discussion I go to Best Buy tonight and buy their most basic 8 port gigabit switch. How will I connect everything to it, and what about it is going to disappoint me and make me wish I had bought a better one? What is it about the Xbox’s non gigabit connection that will cause a problem, what types of issues would they be?

When using ANY Windows Media Center Extender (andor any 100Mbps device) you may get poor performance. On the Xbox that means stuttering video, connection failures, etc.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929707 for some of the issues and fix. The fix on the network card can cause other issues so I personally recommend fixing it by getting better hardware.
