Multicamera Shooting /Genlock Questions

Hello,
I have been shooting live shows over the past 10 years with a variety of cameras. I use three cameras recording independently and do all of the editing after the fact using Edius.
Right now I have two Varicam "H" models and am looking at a new third camera for purchase. The thought of Genlocking/syncing the cameras is on my mind so I thought I should ask some questions to those who know more than me.
1) For my uses, drift between the cameras is the only concern. I have never used timecode. Is Genlock the best way to avoid drift?
2) Can I genlock just using Varicams and maybe an HPX250?
2) I have read about Genlock and have a grasp of what it does, but out in the field...does it work easily? So many things sound great on paper but have issues in practice.
3) Is there a wireless way to work with Genlock?
In the DV days I used three matching cameras and drift was not an issue. Since going HD I have bounced around between cameras manufacturers and have noticed I need a way to stop drift over long shows.
Thanks for your input!
