3) I am also a strong supporter of maindeck Ratchet Bomb. Fast starts can be problematic, and Ratchet Bomb can create virtual card advantage (just like Bitterblossom.) It's never dead and opening up 2-3 slots in the sideboard can be very helpful for addressing your particular metagame.
I think being able to board up to 4 Collective brutality can make a difference vs. Burn, but it's still not favorable. I'm currently on Brutality plus Trinisphere vs. them, but I haven't got in much testing.

I agree with you re: Ratchet Bomb. I run 2 in the main. It is occasionally dead though. I take them out vs. Sneak and Show, Omnitell, Reanimator, TinFins, etc. It has tons of random utility vs. most decks though.
