Here is what I am looking to do...

1) My wife and I both should each have an account.
2) My wife and I both have seperate iPads. I would like her to be able to setup her own sync so her iPad contains the books, music and apps that she wants
3) I would like to be able to share content between our libraries, but not automatically. She may want to choose to not put some of my music on her iPad or vice versa.
4) I would like for her to be able to manage iTunes from her account and me from mine.
5) Nightly wifi sync should work so that it syncs her iPad to her settings and mine to my settings.

Best solution I can think of is for both of us to keep itunes running on each account. She manages her sync settings for her iPad and me for mine and we use a shared library for content.

I think I can figure out most things, but the problem I run into is the ability for her to manage sync settings and run iTunes from her account. Since we need to leave iTunes running for Wifi Sync, she would need to go into my account and close it before she opens it on her side.

Any thoughts? Am I missing something obvious?
