Yes you can stop using toolsdaemon as opus allows to to add as many user
menus
as you have space for

Yes as you can specify an icon for each opus filetype you have defined
(although i prefer name mode listers personally)

Its probably a good idea to increase your hd buffer to 300 then you will
probably see a speedup and you dont have to use hdtoolbox either just
use the following in your startup-sequence

C:AddBuffers HD0: 300
C:AddBuffers HD1: 300

and so on for each partition
