The place I will be renting for a couple of months has both WiFi and
ethernet cabling, although were it comes out isn't all that convenient.
I have an Apple Airport Express that I carry with me. Am I likely to get
faster service using the regular WiFi, the AE for WiFi, or is it likely
to make little difference?

Without knowing what's on the other end of the Ethernet cable, or on
the other end of the wireless connection for that matter, it's hard to
say which will be 'better'.
The WiFi's are connected to the same head end (for lack of a better
term) as the ethernet. I was wondering if having my own WiFi would mean
less competition and thus be faster than using the communal WiFi.
