Trying to find the best suitable braid for a 2000 size reel
Suffix 131 is supposed to cast really far because it's 13 strand and ultra smooth.i personally would be nervous fishing line as thin as some of these guys do.to many rocks and things where I fish.

How to keep Shad alive?
first thing to do is check with state regulations and make sure you ARE NOT VIOLATING LAW. bait bucket with air pump and ice and they make additives for that.

832 is great stuff. I've since switched to vicious no fade braid and will not look back. 20 lb will cast plenty far enough and you lose less baits. Personally I'd can the leaders.

Braided line for older rods?
I'm a big time braid user but on those older rods I would not use it. Guides have come a long way since then. Your best bet would be suffix advance mono due to it's lower stretch.

Lews Speed Spool SLP CP1SH
No it has magnetic brakes. That's one of their budget models.65$ new with graphite frame and magnetic brakes.

What pound test of Sufix 832 braid should I go with?
I used suffix 832 for years. It's great line. I now use Viscious no fade braid. I'd suggest 40 or 50 on a baitcaster.

Would setting 1 of 4 centrifugal brakes on harm anything?
No !!!!! You have msb brakes. That's 3 different brakes. The first is spool tension. It's the knob on the handle side. It adjusts spool bearing preload. Most beginners have it set so the lure drops slowly with rod straight out. I like mine loose with a hair of side to side play in the spool.the second is the dial on the palming side.it adjusts your magnets.it works during the entire cast. The third is your centrifugal.. it works at the front of the cast and backs off as the spool slows. Depending on where you are fluffing determines which brake to use.The idea of unbalanced braking is utter bs. It's just not noticable.

Bates Reels!?
I would laugh if it didn't have a single doyo part in it. Thank God it has no Diadwa or Shimano parts lol !!!!!

Newbie With Pflueger P/Bass Pro Micro Lite Spinning Combo - Advice Needed
IMHO leaders are nothing but trouble. I'd go with like 10 pound braid in one of the better 8 strand braids. On spinning braid saves a lot of headaches. The line also has to be spoiled on in the right direction or it will jump off the spool.The braid is also thinner so the 10 pound will work on your rod.

Is there any advantage to throwing cranks on a casting reel or can heavier (3/8-1/2) be hard on a spinning reel?
get a lews bbi in a 6 speed and get a 7 -2 rod with a soft tip..

Jigs on braid- fluoro leader or no?
Straight Vicious No Fade Braid In 30 lb. Moss green. Fish rocks all the time if it frays I retie. No different from other lines. I am currently using 30 lb through rocks. Using football jigs saves a lot of lures .
