3.Theoretically, WPA2 is not hackable while WPA is
4.WPA2 requires more processing power than WPA

Strongest for home users - WPA2-AES with a random passkey of 13+ chars and a random non visible SSID, also disable WPS, (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

WPA-802.1x is best but needs dedicated "RADIUS" server for authentication - not for the feint hearted

I have read about it when in router settings.
