New to Androids.. Help a n00b out!

Hey everyone, this is my first post so sorry for being such a n00b haha..

I was deciding between the DInc2 and the Droid X2- choosing the DInc2 because of the recently announced ICS update that will eventually get to us as well as better reviews of the HTC OS' versus Motorola -which I hear are buggy as ! I am trading my iPhone 4 for a clean, undamaged, working DInc2 and $60 on thursday and cannot wait! I have been jailbreaking my ipods and iPhone for as long as they have been out and am just tired of the smaller, slower, and most of all overpriced Apple product. Its fine for someone who has money and doesn't get into the full capabilities of a phone like a tech geek like me would but have been wanting an Android for about 10 out of the last 12 months haha. I wasnt going to buy an Android outright since I will be up for an upgrade in a year (when there will be even better phones out) so Craigslist hooked me up ahah! I will be rooting it the second i get home with it and have been trying to do some reading but figured it would be best to hear from you guys-

How exactly does S-Off and SuperUser Status' benefit us? Actual examples and not just generic info would be great!

What is the difference between AOSP and Sense ROMs? I guess I'm not comprehending how the Sense ROMS are actually any different from AOSP ones.. Again any specific examples would be greatly appreciated!

Which ROMs do you guys recommend- for both AOSP and Sense?

What are some common issues with our phones -both dealing with rooting as well as common unrelated defects?

Thanks for helping a n00b out and sorry if this is in the wrong section and for posting such newb questions.. I look forward to being an active member of the Android community thanks again!
