Use dichlor for now; make a decision about the trichlor later. The "Super-Simple" recipe is not necessarily the 'best' way for you to do your pool. Instead, I wrote it as a *good* way for you to take care of your pool *while* you are learning how. Getting a handle on pool care, usually takes a season, even with our help. Using the SS recipe lets you use your pool, fairly cheaply and really easily, right from the start.
Best vacuum? I dunno.
I will say the battery operated one that a few users have reported on is the only one I've heard consistently good things about. Most Intex systems do not have a strong enough pump to support a true skimmer and skimmer connected vacuum.
