Re: what usb -> serial adapter should i get?
If you want a real test of an adaptor, just hook it up to the dashboard, switch it to RC mode, and start reading data. Because the dashboard is set to the highest baud normally supported (115200), any USB adapter not able to handle it will bork.

Any adapter that handles this amount of data will be able to download code as rapidly as a native serially port. I'm not saying others won't, they'll just go slower.
