That is indeed a lot of questions, but I'll take a stab:
1) As mentioned, we don't recommend the 3.3v Sparkfun FTDI, which has caused us a lot of trouble.
2) Those are the individual gyros for the now-discontinued first version of ArduIMU
3) Unless you are a very good RC builder and pilot, I would not recommend the Predator. It's got very little interior room, is a pain to set up, and very fiddly to fly. We use our for showing off at trade shows, but that's about it. A very poor choice for a first UAV.
4) Feel free to use the two FMA sensors, but you'll have to set one of the XYs as a Z yourself. Out of curiosity, why not use the DIY Drones ones, which will work out of the box?

Does anybody know if i can use the RV IR sensors with Ardupilot out of the box?
Do i need to modify anything?
Thanks.

5) The 900Mhz Xbees have better range.
6) No Xbee has enough bandwidth for video
