Been in this situation, but I don't trust USB. If they have parallel go with that and its $20 cheaper...I say this because most print servers are parallel or otherwise.
Don't ever do the physical PC. I've worked in a shop where they put 10 printers on network shares and based their labeling software off those shares....total nightmare and we had to fix all the printers later.
edit: reading through some of your other supplies I see you don't want the USB print server devices...why? keep it simple stupid and think about the trade offs of a few of these cheap devices in your shop vs. port emulation. Most of these print servers I have found, often appear as the printer itself when in the directory once the software on disc is installed. The specifics are lost but they worked very well from my experience.
