If you go down the route of wired and depending on budget take a look at Cytech Comfort, it is a very sophisticated system that does a whole lot more than just act as a burglar alarm which can integrate with lighting systems, heating and all sorts of other stuff.
Mid range system is about £1k for the hardware and don't underestimate the the time to set it up properly.
i have fitted a couple of them, including my own home and it is complex system but amazingly flexible - it talks to my cbus install so different alarm types cause different lighting to either turn on or flash etc, controls the heating (holiday mode) and has the ability to have time windowed user codes - I.e. The cleaner can only log in on certain days and times or the gardener etc etc ( I wish I had the cleaner or gardener!!!)

I fit quite alot of the Pyronix Castle Enforce 32 wireless alarms, well I have fitted probably 10 - 12 this year, I have never had any problems with them. The batteries in my experience last 2 - 3 years without the need to be replaced.
I also hook it all up to the phone line, its a doddle configuring it when you know how. Like I say I have never had a problem, it sends SMS messages to you within probably 5 - 10 seconds of it going off.
You can even now fit the GPRS module for approx £150 for a LAN version so that you can communicate with the alarm remotely via the iPhone App, so you can arm and disarm areas etc, check status and everything else.
I have never fitted a wired alarm and don't ever intend to, I like wireless. Like I say in my opinion they are very good and never had a problem, I have probably fitted 30 of these, all very happy customers. Make your own mind up, but I think they are very good.
