IMHO beware of all ASIC preorders with shipping by 3-4 months.
Today it looks like great deal to buy xxx GH/s machine, but in few months it's gonna be unprofitable.

Exactly.

Maybe you can preorder some scrypt ASICs.

If you can get a hold of a few really early in the game by preordering and waiting, you can probably make tons.

Yes, if you be the really first one. If hashrate rises dramatically, the prices of coins gonna fall same way.
Bitcoin was the only one when ASIC started, now cryptocurrencies market is crowded by many types and clones of BTC/LTC.
Some of them will remain scryptASIC-proof I think.

Is there an ASIC provider that claims to produce hardware for SCRYPT crypto?

Something like this: http://scryptasic.org/ ,but it doesn't look much legit for me, but maybe I'm wrong.
