Hi,
I'm just starting out on a similar project and am feeling exactly the
same way.

Should I use gwt platform or Activity/Places?
(I think I've decided on gwt platform because there are good examples
integrating Gin/Maven).

I'm comfortable with Activity/Place, so I go with it; but GWTP is a great tool too, made by skilled people. YMMV.

 

Should I use UIBinder or GWT Designer?
(I think I'll use GWT Designer for the moment because it looks to be
simpler.)

They're not comparable. It's like asking "should I use Java or Eclipse?". GWT Designer can generate Java code and/or UiBinder code.

Should I use GWT-RPC or RequestFactory or something else (RestyGWT
perhaps?)?
not sure at all... I'd like to use RequestFactory but haven't found
any complete non-GAE non-Spring examples yet.

I'd rather go with RF, but some people don't like it and prefer GWT-RPC (Google Groups uses GWT-RPC fwiw); as for Activity/Places vs. something else, it's also a matter of personal taste. RF has many advantages over GWT-RPC, but it's younger so there are bugs too, and it's not as easy to use (steeper learning curve)

I don't think there would be any problem with you using Gin in
conjunction with Spring. It looks to be purely client side and a lot
more light weight than Spring to boot.

Absolutely: GIN client-side vs. whatever (Spring DI, Guice, etc.) server-side. But that's only talking about DI, and Spring is not only Spring DI.
