We experimented with the Lubuntu/LXDE desktop under 12.04 LTSP and it was great in terms if it's small resource requirements, however the Xubuntu/XFCE proved more useful to use because of it's greater configurability, we lock down the desktop to a considerable degree for the students and XFCE lets us do that while still having reasonable low hardware requirements.
