Big advantage to using UDP is that you can send player positions as unreliable, which would improve the experience by a ridiculous amount.

You could also write a decent NAT punchthrough method for you to provide peer-to-peer UDP that actually works reliably across clients rather than forcing users to adhere to certain ports in the settings.
Sadly I'm speaking from the flash FB perspective. This is why I wish iClassic was just available on v6 instead of FB for normal players. ;[
