I started with the behind the heel grab for toesides because it seemed like I could get a lot better grip on the board but as I have gotten better I now prefer the infront of heel. I don't know the reason but for me it helps me keep my shoulders square which helps me keep form sliding excessively in my drift and thus more speed

Is it really the fastest path through a turn? I know that it's the longest, straightest path through a turn, but if you can take a turn way tighter without sliding, is that the faster line?

the idea is to exit the turn with maximum velocity, thats why you see people footbreaking up to a turn to shed off just enough speed to take it without drifting out and other people predrifting before turns

Depends on the turn and the rider. There's not really any "fastest" way through a corner, every corner needs a different line and it may not always be out in out.

Out in out is generally a good rule of thumb but it is not always the case.

Depends on the turn, rider, board, etc.

A long turn vs a tight turn is like gentle carving vs hard carving. Hard carving will turn you faster, but you lose more speed. You want to find the line that gets you around the corner while losing as little speed as possible.
