1. Mounting always looks good. Just make sure you keep your cables tidy. Speaker stands means that it is more portable and allows you to position speakers better if the wall mounting cannot be done in the optimum listening zone.
2. Depends on your room configuration. You should try both setups and hear which sounds better and looks better for your room.
3. Stands allow flexibility and fine tuning the sound. Mounting should have the wires buried in the wall, and once they are put up, they are pretty much there, even if the placement sucks. To move them involves a lot of wall repair and repainting.
