About to flash my phone, just a few ques i need answered

1) is it recommended to remove your sd card and sim card or optional

2) do you also have to clear cache in recovery mode or just factory reset alone.
 
I would recommend removing the sd card and sim card.

It is best to wipe cache/data then do factory reset (I think done together they are referred to as a 'hard rest', which you can also do from the keypad by entering the appropriate special code).

For further info see the sticky on upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2.

Whenever I am flashing a new 2.2 custom ROM or custom Kernel I always remove the sd card and SIM card and do a 'hard reset' at the beginning, and afterwards before re-inserting the sd card and sim card. I find I don't have any issues if I stick to this procedure.
