The answers to all those questions are highly individual. No two people will answer them the same way.
For a new person getting started, most likely, you are going to want a 27 or 32" 16:9 LCD monitor for ease of purchase and use. That will be large enough to make all games look good at horizontal or vertical orientations.
That said, if you have a deep connection to old school gaming, and want your games to look arcade correct, and have the money and time to invest in learning about them, a CRT may be the way to go. On the other hand, if you had to ask those questions, you are probably not the type to go the CRT route.
