Also, you can no longer get Apple's Xserve brand new. I'm not sure how much longer you'll be able to buy Snow Leopard Server. The only downside to the golden triangle setup is Lion is around the corner, and I'm really not sure if it'll continue to support this type of thing. This doesn't require modifying or installing anything in AD that's not already there. If you go the golden triangle route, you should consider getting two servers for master & replica. Things like accessing System Preferences would be managed in OD.
Things like password policy work with AD by default, with some minor caveats (reminders of expiration). What it doesn't get from AD, it'd get from OD (if you configured it correctly). Then you'd join the computer itself to AD & OD. You'd make the OS X server an OD Master (standalone), join it to AD, then use MCX to apply "GPO" to the computer object in AD. If you don't (a lot of people don't), you'll need an OS X Server and set up a golden triangle configuration. I'm not sure if it'd include everything you'd want, so you'd have to ask the vendor.
This adds the necessary attributes to your AD schema to make it more OS X aware. If you go with Thursby or Centrify, you will have to do that to get GPO.

It depends on whether or not you want to install 3rd party software on your AD controllers.
