Haven't kept up with it. Is Back lit LED the best for PQ? Is 3D going to catch on? Any with wireless network capability?

You need to let us know what it's going to be used for, room lighting, etc. In any case:

From 5 threads down, TV comparison. Lots out there with wireless capability. Check the manufacturer's websites, i.e., LG, Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba

Are backlit LED different from edgelit LED TVs or are they the same thing with different names for marketing purposes?

Never heard of edgelit.

EDIT

Back lit is better

Don't go edge-lit. Back-lit is a LOT more expensive than edge but that's the LED you want.
