Yes, I believe its good for around 450+ HP
Stage 1 is just basically the filter mount and filter and it looks like this:

Stage 2 has a torque tube and puts the filter in a box....and yeah, its not cheap - looks like this:

I dont think you can go wrong with the optional Proguage 7 filter - its really worth the extra $$
Stage 1 does
Stage 2 I dont think so (but dont know for sure)
Not sure, the nonoilable AFE filters are quite new - a call to AFE should clear that up.
All aftermarket "performance" intakes replace the stock factory air box....it just doesnt seal well and you have the possibility of letting unfiltered air in. On my 12V I could actually hear the filter drop down when I let off the go pedal = not good.

Keep the stock airbox?
Upgrade to an AFE system?
Or drop in a better filter in the stocker?

I dunno...I guess it depends on what you want to do with the truck - HP goals, if any, are an important consideration as well.
Heres the intakes I feel are good and the ones that I would look hard at before buying:
AFE Stage 1 with Proguard 7
AEM Workhorse
AEM Bruteforce
or just buy a filter (one of the above) and make your own intake from some sheetmetal and some PVC pipe (much like the common BHAF configuration)
S&B
and last, but not least, a good old BHAF
I personally dont like the stock airbox - dont feel that it seals very well, JMO.
