Some have already asked this question, but personally I am happy with lion on my base 2010 MBA! No performance issues, very slick overall.

Stay with Snow Leopard if you value application compatibility and battery life.

The base MBA comes with 2gb so according to apple that should be enough.

For the MBA11 I would highly recommend upgrading to Lion as full screen apps were made for the MBA11!
