Motor speed control uning Jaguar

Hi Techies,

I have been away from FRC for a while a I need a kick start with using the Jaguar. Our team's app will need highly accurate speed control for a ball shooter.

1) what speed sensor should we use?
2) what accuracy should we expect to achieve?
3) is there a recommended motor for shooter applications?

Thanks,
