1) No, they're the same speed, but the wooden horse consumes floatation stones a LOT faster, so you'll have to buy more floatation stones all the time, where as the Hobby consumes it slowly and you will only need to buy it once in a while. But the costs are different so I guess they both even out in prices in the end... oh and I like the look of Hobby better. =D
2) Not sure but it's only a little faster I think (I don't remember going WOW at the regeneration speed when I had it in CB).
3) Shoulder pets should have +1 to all stats I think. That's the only types I've seen, but the higher the level mob, the more it sells to the NPC. xD
