When I'm driving with a headset active (Bluetooth or wired), I want my Android to read me any incoming text messages.
Any references?

SayMyName Dessert will read SMS text. When bluetooth is attached, it still uses the speaker or wired output, though.
There are a number of apps that will do this. DriveSafe.ly is what I use right now, but haven't really had the opportunity to thoroughly test their TTS engine. It can also be set up to start whenever bluetooth is paired, or if you put it in a car dock.
I did try another one out a few months ago, but can't remember the name right now. A search through the app market (or your favourite online app site) may reveal some more.
StartTalking seems like an app to check out. It will let you listen to incoming text messages and even replay to them. It doesn't require any Bluetooth devices (but I think it will work with one), and it's true hands free - meaning you don't have to press any button to use it, both for listening to it and replaying, it's fully voice activated. Oh and the TTS sounds surprisingly good.
