This is a little much for one post, which is probably why nobody is
answering. You should make your questions shorter and more specific.

While you are probably correct, the difference between the two would
probably not be observable in any real-world situation.

Not if you configure it correctly.

Yes. But so could mod_vhost_alias. In fact, it is better to use
mod_rewrite if you already use a bunch of rewrite stuff, because that
way the order of precedence of rules is more clearly definable.

This is all about local needs. Some people can't setup all their
vhosts on the filesystem as required by mod_vhost_alias, for example.

I don't really see a question here. Why don't you try it out yourself
and come back if you have specific problems?

(One thing I would do would be to forget about splitting by first
letter. A modern filesystem can handle 500 directory entries with no
problem. You only need to split if you have many thousands of hosts.)
