Shouldn't make any difference really with modern gear. I would STRONGLY suggest changing to WPA-PSK for security as WEP is useless security.
WPA-PSK isn't much better if you're not careful. WPA-PSK uses TKIP, which is an RC4 based algorithm, and easily bruteforceable if your key is small. The upshot is, if you're using WPA-PSK, make sure your key is a lot larger than 20 characters. Or you could set up WPA-RADIUS and 802.1x for dynamic per-port keying, which fixes a lot of the issues. Some instances of WPA will use AES, although this isn't part of the original WPA specification. WPA2 "fixes" these problems as it uses AES.
