You would really have to be an idiot to mix it incorrectly. 2 1/2 and 2 1/4 cups are 2 1/2 and 2 1/4 cups.......it would be really hard to mess up. Also peristaltic pumps are extremely reliable. I have never heard of a tank crashing from dosing 2 part but have heard many stories of Ca reactors screwing tanks up.
As far as the other questions.
1) I use 2 1 gallon jugs for my heavily stocked 120
2) IMO it's harder to use a Ca reactor...also I mix up 6 gallons of 2 part every 4 months or so.
3) IMO it's easier to use 2 part
4) They both are equal at producing stability and even there I would err on the side of 2 part.
Like I said before they both work well. If you want a Ca reactor (which it sounds like you do) get one
2 part will work just as well if not better in some people's opinion as posted here and might just save you some $ and make you life easier.
