So is date_trunc better than to_char ? I'm thinking it probably is
as for the number of partitions, well we don't plan on deleting anything, but from my reading as long as the queries stay on a small amount of parts that we should be okay.

a good goal is to have no more than about 100 partitions max, and ideally more like 25.
when we partition on time stamp, we typically do it by the week, as we're doing 6 month data retention.
IIRC, we're using DATE_TRUNC('week', timestamp)::DATE for use as the partition label and key.
