My time indeed has a cost, hence I will favour a "cheap and dirty" solution to get the ball rolling and try something fancy later.
One thing I'd add is the use of some sort of cluster management system can be very handy to let you manage things as a whole. I've never used Qlustar that Tony mentioned but it does look interesting from a quick scan of the website.
I'm also a big fan of booting nodes from a standard image as a ramdisk and then mounting the filesystems you need containing apps and user files from some sort of shared storage.
The benefit with using standard images is that it's very easy to keep everything in step, you don't get gradual configuration drift as changes are made to some nodes and not others (perhaps one was down for some hardware work at one point and so a change couldn't be applied, etc, etc).
Best of luck!
