I will try to handle some of your questions and leave the others for other
posters.
The EX model is better than any of the other models since it has the most
features. For that reason, EX models are more expensive than LX models.

I have a 1999 Honda Accord and have had no problems except for having to
replace an oxygen sensor. Obviously, the O1 model is better than the 98 or
99 model since Honda keeps track of problems found in the 98 and 98 and
corrects those problems in the 00 and 01 models. They might miss some of
the more minor problems.
