BTW, I would use a PO box, as some registrars have a habit of "losing" privacy and showing your real details for a short period, sometimes long enough for WHOIS archiving services like domainsystems to capture the info.

Remember that WHOIS privacy isn't supposed to make you completely anonymous, just harder for a spammer to harvest. Some registrars will give out your real info based on a simple emailed complaint.
some use false whois for SEO purposes, when spreading many domains in their network over different hosts and different whois, so the PO box idea would be difficult unless you were spreading that all over the world too
