Hi Kosmic, welcome. It sounds like you're off to a great start.
1. Yes. True Edge bad. Standard TC good. We're all pretty unanimous on that one (thanks Norm!). Sure, just learn the I18 to get you going. After you get going, consider learning more, to me they're like free money and the improvement is measurable. Why only learn 18? But don't worry about it now.
2. Not really. HiLo is good enough for SD/DD, just not theoretically fantastic. You already consider Zen to be a roadblock, strong enough that you once quit out of frustration. You seem positive about HiLo, and HiLo is the industry standard. Learn it, go kick ass, then 6-36 months from now, let Tthree and I try to convince you to upgrade, and let others try to dissuade you from it.
