Hi,
1. Most of the get requests currentlyonly cost 1 unit per call<http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/ratesheet.html>, so for example, if you download 10 campaigns, adgroups, keywords, or ads, it will cost you 10 units. If you need to download a large number of items in one go, then you can try using a MutateJob<http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/guides/bulkjobs.html>, which is slower but reduces the API unit charges. 2. If you use the report service then you will need to write code to populate the objects available in the client libraries; there's currently no features available in the libraries to do it for you, but it would be a useful addition. 3. You're likely to need to use more than one report to get all the data you need; even if you use get requests you would need to make more than one call. There's also some fields not available in reports. They work best as a way to quickly download a large amount of data to populate a database; many databases have bulk load features that can import flat files like csv's very fast. I usually download data into MySQL, then use some form of ORM library to work with the objects themselves.
