The ten-way switch for Stratocaster offers a bunch of additional sounds but I’m not convinced that all of them are worth having.
Normal side: B, Both, N
Fancy side: Series In Phase, Series Out Of Phase, Parallel Half Out Of Phase.
1: If your heavy handed, it ain’t for you.
2. In terms of live performance it’s a muscle memory thing. I tend to use the usual 3 way like a Les Paul. Then I can flip it up to the outer coil in parallel which is great for those chiming cleans.
1 - are they reliable? I haven't heard any reports of failures, but I’m interested in how sturdy they are.
2 - are they break-before-make? I dislike 4-ways and superswitches for this reason. It increases switching noise, and if you’re unlucky you can knock the switch into the silent position.

2 - Sounds as if they are. The 3X3-03 toggle type is no noisier than the mechanical rotary type used in senior PRS guitars.
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.
