maybe - depends on the wing.
which wing do you plan to use
If you are using a Hollis single tank wing you don't - unless is several years old - I don't think the old models didn't have cam band slots. if you are using a different brand you'll have to look for feedback on that specific wing

No, not at all. The LX wing has a built in sta, that works great, I use to own one.
Buy the plastic screws to hold the wing onto the BP. It will make everything easier when changing tanks.

While not needed, I paid the extra buck and noticed a difference.

More secure and easier donning.

I've dived my Hollis with an without an STA and don't notice any difference. Only difference is I have to add 2 lbs of weight to account for the "missing" STA. I'm a little lost on how the use of an STA makes donning easier - unless you meant putting the BC on the tank vs. putting the BC on yourself.
