So, what does it change for me practically speaking?
Can I always use gcc as usual? Can I compile and link as always or do I
get any performance hit in my generated binaries? Do I get different gcc
versions and have to select one through eselect?

Once you use the 'hardened' flag on sys-devel/gcc and base-gcc it shows
this :
blacknoxis SpecialPackages # gcc-config -l
[1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.6.2 *
[2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.6.2-hardenednopie
[3] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.6.2-hardenednopiessp
[4] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.6.2-hardenednossp
[5] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.6.2-vanilla
You can chose then.
