They aren't needed, and the cheap ones fail, and the good ones cost $.

I actually try to minimize the rods I bring as I kayak fish, and so my casting setups I use for multiple applications and snaps allow for easy bait switching. What are the good ones? Worth every penny to me.

I dont use any, Because it cant do what it need with swivel. But for some lures if you need to use swivel I always use smallest swivel which is very strong for any kind of bass fishing.

I’ve noticed some of the various brands at both big box stores and on Amazon offer varying “strengths” from 20-70 lbs. Does this mean anything in regard to how well the snap itself is going to hold or is this referring only to the strength of the ring/swivel?

In theory both, that is the minimum rated strength, but the cheap ones are garbage, so don't go by that.

Does this “locking” design help offset the “cheapness” or likelihood of breaking?
