I would advise only using genuine Pentax screw mount adaptors. It's worth paying a little more. I have absolutely no problems with mine.

Given that you can use M42 lenses in Aperture Priority mode, I'd say yes, they are more handy than M or K lenses (but not A lenses).
It really isn't an issue (unless you want to take a lot of photos at F16 or smaller). So far I've mainly used my 'new' F1.8 screwmount lens wide open - or nearly wide open. Remember that people are used to modern lenses that usually only have an F4-5.6 maximum aperture! Also, IMHO, I think Aperture Priority is much easier to use than full manual. In any event I like it as my first SLR camera only had that option!
+1 ;)
I just got my first screw mount Takumar yesterday - an SMC 85mm F1.8 - and I am mightily impressed with it! I think it's going to be my favourite lens! (Review here)
