Strut replacement questions

Hey everyone - 4 quick questions about strut replacements.

A. Does this strut mount look worn? I've been having an annoying wheel shake issue and after doing tie rods and end links, I'm going to tackle struts next before doing track arms.

B. What parts do I need for the replacement? I'm going to go with the Bilstein B4s or B6s (anyone strongly recommend one over the other? I currently have B4s on there) which I believe have the beveled washer. I'm going to with sachs mounts and a new bellows/bump stop. Will I likely need new strut bearings too? What would the symptoms of failed strut bearings be?

C. Is there a definitive answer to doing the rear struts - is it easier unbolt the cv joint or the axle nut?

D. I noticed a bit of rust on one of my springs - does this warrant replacement? Seems to just be near the bottom where some of the paint has peeled off.
