I'd suggest using target disk mode and using the Disk Utility that
comes with OS X to make a DMG file of the drive. FWIW, CCC has always
worked well for me. SuperDuper is another one that I have heard of as
well.

Finally updating and getting a new G4 14 iBook with a superdrive.
Any suggestions as to how to break in the battery and keep it
conditioned so I get the longest possible life out of it?

First thing, charge it completely, and then use it completely once. Charge it
completely again.
Regular usage should never cause the system to go to sleep forcefully, as this
behavior will cause a sudden, rapid drain in the battery when it approaches

no, you need SODIMM type memory, same as PC laptops.
Standard computer memory wont physically fit in the iBook (or any
