Assistance with Mecanum Wheels

My team has just purchased mecanum wheels, yet this will be the first time our team has diverted from the standard chassis. Yet no one on my team knows anymore about mecanum wheels than what you can get off of wikipedia and youtube.

Could teams more familiar with mecanum wheels provide more information for me?

Specifically, I was wondering:
1. Would a mecanum set with gear boxes of the same ratio as the standard wheel design output the same speed as a standard wheel design?
2. I've read some teams feel a suspension is required? Is this true? More info?
3. Has anyone had any success with encoders regarding the 6" andymark mecanum wheels?

Any more info, suggestions, comments, thoughts, ANYTHING, etc is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
