If I go the flashing route, which location pr1.1 makes the most sense for someone living in US? Some have recommended central europe version. Finally, if I flash does that mean that all future updates will have to be done by flashing?
As a Starhub-branded N9 owner living in the US, I can speak to having done all of the things you asked about sucessfully (except the future updates, of course ). I'm running central european firmware on it now. I chose that because people think it will receive future OTA updates sooner than others based on PR1.1 experiences. No other practical way to remove bloatware to my knowledge.

Before I flashed to that firmware I removed the starhub logo from the lock screen by reducing the image size to zero pixels in a config file. This made it invisible on the lockscreen so all you saw was the clock. I think this is the post that talks about modding all the different aspects of the lock screen:

Good luck.
