And finally - is it important that I should have my heater hoses connected upon initial light-up?

Filling the block up might not be a bad idea, have never done it myself.
Someone already stated about the 50/50 coolant mix, why pay extra for water? If you are running any aluminum cooling components, you might use de ionized water to mix with the coolant. We do that with dirtbikes, which are all aluminum motors. Slows down the corrosion factor.
You def. want your heater hoses connected, or plugged, as the there is always water circulating through them, I beleive.
