Two utterly brilliant points about wireless:
1) as @vasselmeyer has said, no matter how shit the pub electrics are as you watch your amp go up in smoke you are NOT connected to disaster via a big ferkin' instrument cable with six wires under your sweaty hand(s) only a short armful away from your ticker and brain.
2) when you want to run over to the other side of the stage (all of four paces away), just to say hello to the bass player in a theatrical kind of way, your f*cking ***** singer will not trip over your lead. In fact you may have to hop off the stage then hop back on again over the other side because your f.i. singer is doing the entire gig with his eyes closed so he's unable to pick up cues from you, the bass player, or anyone at all.
Line 6 G30. Two AA batteries from Costco = 40p = two gigs.
Totally worth it IMO.
At our gig at the weekend everything: amps, pedalboards, PA, electric drum kit, mixer etc etc all came from a single plug and half a dozen extension sockets so not exactly the safest environment.
I do like the idea of the (limited cos of space) freedom and more importantly not being at risk from tripping.
I'd also like to be out on the floor when we sound cheek so I can hear what the audience will. Admittedly I could buy a long cable for that though.

use a line6 G50 live.
I move around a lot.
Not snagging cables on mic stands, boards, monitors, the bloody singers feet = godsend.
Although with the guitar wireless transmitter in one back pocket, and the wireless IEM receiver in the other - get a good belt !
