Exchange 2010 activesync

I am looking to bring in a windows phone solution in our company. Looking for some info on it.  
For our environment, we need push email (instantly delivered to device). Does activesync provide this?
From a security point of view, do you have to publish the exchange server on port 443? Can it be configured so the ssl cert needs to be on the device in advance? We don't want wide open access to our echange from the web.
Also, I know that Exchange 2010 has more mmcs for Activesync, but what about Exchange 2007? Does it work well for managing Win mobile devices?
What about licensing costs, is there a per device cost?

Thanks for the info fellas.
I am thinking an MDM solution may be over the top for us, as all we would really use would be email and remote device wipe.
We could open up port 443, and I could disable OWA on individual user accounts. It would mean that only our accounts with activesysnc enabled would be accessible and not OWA. (we only have about 30 devices from 100 user accounts)
We plan on using a SSL cert from a cert authority.
