On my Windows 7 clients I used to run a startup/shutdown script with
'cscript \\server\wpkg.js /synchronize /quiet /nonotify'. This works well
but it doesn't give the users any notification on what's happening. With
small updates/installs this is fine but I'd find they'd force shutdown for
large installs because they thought the machine was hanging.

I setup WPKG-GP on these clients which works really well. It gives end
users a visual indication on what's happening and it was really easy to
setup in a working existing WPKG environment.

You probably don't want to use WPKG-GP and WPKG Client on the same machine.
