Default Replacing Dervish Griptape.

Ok so I bought my Loaded Dervish not too long ago, and I love it.... anyways though I am already becoming somewhat disappointed with my stock clear griptape, an I have a few questions what to do from here.
#1. When I did my searching I saw that the best way to remove clear griptape is to use a power sander and sand off the grip. True or False?
#2. What type of sand paper do you recommend for removing this griptape without ruining to many pieces of sand paper?
#3. When I do put on the griptape I read that putting the grip across the entire length of the board is no good because the flex will cause it to wrinkle, though in Loaded videos I have seen griptape across the length of the board and didn't seem to be a problem. If possible that is what I would prefer to do as opposed to the squares of griptape at the two ends on the Dervish.

Help is much appreciated, though I searched I found some answers but they were too inconsistent so I figured that my own thread may be more helpful to me. So if you don't intend to help don't post just to bash me because there are already "x" amount of other threads like this.
