Wow lots of questions! I'll take a stab at them.
1. HSB will eat your FHM however I don't think 20 of them will eat all of them especailly if you are pellet feeding.
HSB will eat your RES but RES don't spawn that much so I wouldn't worry about your RES taking over. Course once RES get so big your HSB may not be able to eat them. Even the bigger HSB have a hard time with larger RES and BG.
HSB will take to feeding no problem if you have feed trained HSB. I bought 25 a couple years ago and they been doing great. I bought 15 feed trained and 10 non feed trained and I think at this point they are all eating pellets. They will learn from the others and will take to food most of the time.
I think what you want to do would be fine, but lets see what someone else has to say maybe I am missing something.
