First of all, don't get the fans if you plan on wheeling in deep water unless you have an auxillary cut off. I shredded both of mine at Paragon and that was not fun. It's now back to stock.
Answers to your questions:
1. No regrets. Love it.
2. Yes.
3. The problems I have had were dealt with by LPE in a very professional manner. I can't say the same for Mag. They did NOT cover the warranty work I had done even though that is part of their agreement with LPE. The sc's bearings needed replacing. LPE did pay for it and the work done at the dealership.
4. Dealer did not do the work, but they have been extremely helpful in all instances.
5. Perf. gains? Hell yeah.
Old video, but worth watching. You can't see the tires spinning at the line.

Relax and congrats. I understand the issue with the bearings is quite rare. I just wish they would have taken care of it properly.
BTW, another forum member had a problem with his bearings and Mag sent them the replacement right away. I think it was kdio.
