If you want information on ALL of your keywords, then use the Structure Report in the report service. If you can deal with only getting information on those that have had activity, then you can just schedule an automated report in the adWords UI and have it mailed to you. The latter is great because it is free and because you don't (usually) need to worry about receiving the data before it's ready in the Google warehouse (because Google decides when to send you the file). It's aso great because the data comes down in CSV format instead of XML, which means that you can process it a lot faster (not a small consideration if you're talking about a lot of keywords). If you need bidding information, (max CPC, etc) then you'll need the Structure Reports, which can sometimes get to be too large to easily deal with or parse - I download just under 2m keywords each night, and the processing takes about 3 hours of wall clock time.
I wouldn't worry about the availability of reporting in the 2009 API - just keep using the non-2009 ReportingService until the 2009 API catches up with it.
