I've had no issues with WPF in ArcGIS whatsoever. The question of chosing one of these technologies over the other is the same as in any other environment, be it ArcGIS or not.
There are things to consider, though. If you want to use WPF as replacement for your forms, then you are definitely OK. If you'd like to use WPF in scenarios like e.g. docking ...

All the classes in this namespace (JsonWriter, ArcGISJsonWriter and ArcGISJsonReader) are internal to the ESRI.ArcGIS.Client assembly, so I suspect you won't be able to find any documentation.
It is a bummer, though, because these classes do all sort of useful conversion between ESRI's WPF types (geometries, geoprocessing parameters etc.) and JSON.
You can ...

Esri's Runtime for WPF supports WMS layers.
It is not free, but the ArcGIS Silverlight SDK is and has many of the same capabilities. So you may want to try the Silverlight SDK in Out-of-browser mode, which is similar to running a WPF app. You need to set up a proxy though.

With featureLayers I think you need to reference a single layer in a map service or feature service. So, instead of:
http://localhost:6080/arcgis/rest/services/CalvertCity_Test_2/MapServer
try
http://localhost:6080/arcgis/rest/services/CalvertCity_Test_2/MapServer/0
change the "0" at the end to match the layer you are interested in.

The key to proper parenting of WPF windows within a non-WPF application is to use the WindowInteropHelper class.
Suppose you have a WpfWindow class which is a WPF window (derives from Window):
private void ShowWpfWindowModal()
{
var parentHandle = new IntPtr(_app.hWnd); // the ArcMap window handle
var wpfWindow = new WpfWindow(); ...

You might want to check out BiMserver. It's an open source building information model server.
The Building Information Modelserver (short: BIMserver) projects
creates software (the BIMserver software) that turns a computer/server
into a ‘BIMserver’. A BIMserver enables you to centralize the
information of a construction(or other building ...

Try using the ControlsSelectFeaturesTool it works on features instead of ControlsSelectTool that work on graphics.

suppose you have just one Layer, with the selected features & you want to zoom to the extent of all the selected features,
here is how I would do it:
IMapControl2 MapControl= (ImapControl2)_mapControl;
IfeatureLayer FeatureLayer=MapControl.Layer[0];
IFeatureSelection FeatureSelection= (IFeatureSelection)FeatureLayer;
ISelectionSet ...

You could try this:
List<IGeometry> geometries = GetGeometries() // However you retrieve your geometries
double margin = 1.2;
IEnvelope envelope = null;
foreach (IGeometry g in geometries)
{
if (envelope == null)
envelope = g.Envelope;
else
envelope.Union(g.Envelope);
}
envelope.Expand(margin , margin , true);

Alright, so I discovered what this issue was. Feature services and map services have different URLs to access them on the server, and I was using a map service URL from an earlier version of the project to initialize my feature layer. Oops.

If you have one Path per Polyline you can do something like this:
private void map1_MouseClick(object sender, Map.MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (map1.Layers["MyGraphicsLayer"] is GraphicsLayer)
{
GraphicsLayer glayer = (GraphicsLayer)map1.Layers["MyGraphicsLayer"];
IEnumerable<Graphic> graphics = ...

Using ArcGIS Server and consuming a map service is one way. Or you can turn a Map (MXD) into a Map Package and consume this in the Runtime.
You'll probably want to choose your solution based off 2 things:
1) will your app have internet access? 2) if you have internet, will you have an ArcGIS Server to host services. If the answer to either of those questions ...

If you need to add, update, delete features you will first need to publish a "Feature Service", you can do this while publishing your service, by enabling "Feature Access".
Then depending on which programming language (Silverlight, Flex, iOS, Javascript, ... etc.) you're using, ESRI has a bunch of API's that allow you to access a Feature Service, to add, ...

Based on this error that you reported "Feature Access requires that the data be on SDE; other types of data sources are not supported", I'm assuming that your data is stored in either a file GDB, personal GDB or shapefile. If you are trying to edit data in a feature service, then your editable data has to be in an enterprise SDE database. Here is a link ...

I have not used it myself but SharpMap should be able to handle a WMS layer and render it in WPF using a WindowsFormsHost. See Tutorial - Example 3: Adding a WMS-layer to the map.
Also check out Mapsui which is a port of SharpMap to WPF, Silverlight and Windows Phone.

Changing the parser from VBScript to python or Javascript may not be simple to automate. This object has not been exposed by ESRI within the arcpy library, see this ArcGIS Ideas page, however it may be automated via arcobjects/javascript via IAnnotationExpressionEngine getExpressionParser() object.

How to create a map package - ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF Help
Or did you mean programmatically? As @KHibma points out, map packages can only be created from Desktop, arcpy or ArcObjects, not the WPF Runtime.

I am assuming that by ESRI server you mean ArcGIS Server. From the documentation only Bing and OpenStreetMap are supported: http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/radmap-overview.html
However, it appears that a custom provider can be created to use ArcGIS Server map service.

I don't know anything more about this than what it says on the page, but ARCHIBUS Geospatial Extensions for ESRI sounds like it might fit the bill.
Incorporate a geospatial perspective directly within your ARCHIBUS Web Central dashboards to unlock the power of geospatial visualization for improved analysis, reporting, and decision-making

Few things to try:
Make sure the selection enumerator is either non-recycling (see IEnumFeatureSetup, or otherwise copy the feature geometries prior to adding them to the geometry bag (via IFeature.ShapeCopy).
Make sure all the input geometries, as well as the newly created Polygon have the same spatial reference.
Make sure all the input geometries are ...

Your graphics coordinates appear to be WGS 1984 or spatial reference 4326 so does your extent. You are trying to switch to a map service that is in Web Mercator which is spatial reference 102100.
Just go to this link and look at the coordinates at the bottom and you can see they are different.

If you installed the WPF SDK in the normal location, you can go to this folder and find an interactive sample application:
