X10 isn't the only, and depending on your application might not be the
best,
but it is certainly the most common (and cheapest?)

If you're planning a long term installation, look at using DIN modules
(AD10/LD11), or you could try the replacement wall switch units if you can
stand the sight of them (the product code escapes me).

I always use LetsAutomate for my X10 gear.

Pass on the other two questions.
