Hi
We use NFS4 to mount the samba share directories on the Linux clients. 
If you want, you could also mount the profiles share so that your users 
had access to whatever was on e.g. their windows desktop too. As we have 
more Linux clients than windows, I try to encourage users to store stuff 
in their home folder rather than in their windows profile.
