Root rooting before activation

[brandennj]

would there be any advantage to root before activation?

would there a way for them to block a custom recovery after it has been activated?

no and yes, with OTA programming. there's a thread about disabling it http://androidforums.com/commando-4g-lte-all-things-root/746523-disable-ota-updates.html#post6031864

Yes you can, but be carefully because if you make updated system apps the new system app, or make some user apps system apps, it will NOT activate.
