At best MAC filters prevent people from accidently connecting to the wrong WLAN in a crowded (many AP's) enviroment. used with IP filtering is slightly better, if the AP has a narrow available IP range (one STATIC IP per permitted device) WEP probably just makes you and interesting target/challange, for your local haxor.
All of these can be broken in minutes by someone with a little knowledge and some freely available software.
WPA will block many attempts to play with your system but TKIP can be broken
Only authenticated WPA2 is considered fully secure.
Your best hope is to make your WLAN obscure (long and non-standard, non-broadcast SSID, lowest useable power output, direction antenna aimed in a direction with the lowest possible/likely contacts) and more trouble than it worth to hack (best encryption available)
