Here's the thing...
VZW Aircard is not unlimited bandwidth. It is 5GB/mo. If you use it as your
primary internet connection from your home, you will likely exceed this
amount. In any case, using it in this manner is against the terms of
services... if anyone cares.
Given your situation, I'd go with DSL
