I use NFS to linux boxes, SMB/CIFS to Windows - both work fine with DivX up to BR rips. No idea what my Android boxes use, probably CIFS, and they're limited by hardware more than anything, although WiFi can be a challenge sometimes. Either protocol is fast enough for most conceivable uses on a wired connection, though, the limitation will be systems, NICs and cables.
If it's a dedicated HTPC box, I'd recommend giving OpenElec a whirl, see if that helps any issues you have. And regarding (4), it depends on how often you reboot your box - if it's really quick to boot (as OE is), then you can update the library then easily enough.
