Since no one else has answered, I'll give this a try: JSF is the base for everything you asked about. Only AFTER you are comfortable with JSF implementation (the Sun JSF RI or the MyFaces runtime) would I recommend you try Facelets, Shale or both.
Facelets and Shale bring extra functionality on top of a JSF implementation that each project's authors felt were missing from JSF v1.1. Facelets brings a view definition tool, templating and tile-like functionality to JSF. Shale brings many pieces to JSF such as Dialogs/Workflows, Tokens, Variable resolvers, extra functions to the view controller a test framework, etc. One optional component of Shale is called Clay which is functionally very similar to Facelets. However, I have heard of people using Shale with Facelets instead of Clay and who have almost everything working normally.

That is, if I go along any path, will be able to add any other framework lateron? How hard it is? What features of the frameworks are interlapping? Thanks.
