1. I haven't transformed into a braid user (yet), but I use anything from 15-25 mono depending on the set up. I usually use a 50lb leader with plugs and jigs but sometimes go lighter with slug-gos and other plastics.

2. Definitely no gaffs. I've seen people use Bogas, but I've been fine with just my hands.

3. I usually wear my work boots which are waterproof to an extent and provide pretty good traction; however, I just picked up a nice comfy pair of Penn rubber boots for the boat and they just may make it to the canal a few times. I'm hesitant to wear my waders there as a friend of mine once pulled a fisherman (wearing waders) that was helplessly drifting down current out of the canal. Luckily my friend was on an oyster flat near the west end or else that poor guy would have ended up at Cuttyhunk before he knew it.
