That comes down to what frequency they use 125KHz or 13.56MHz, and what data format. Obviously cost of readers and cards will be a deciding factor, and since we'll be using two factor authentication the the encryption (if any) on the card itself isn't really important. I've seen some readers that will do more than one data format, but none that will do more than one frequency, so that will likely be the first thing to decide on.

Along these lines where are we thinking of readers? Obviously a reader + keypad on the front door. Exit reader on the back door and side door? (I doubt they'll want us messing with the side door in terms of messing with the locks). Badging in through the back door would be nice if we could limit it only to people who we don't mind having access to the "storage and dangerous tools" room.

If the prices aren't hugely disproportionate i wouldn't mind shelling out a little extra cash _if_ there are features that warrant it on the more expensive models.
