This is a pretty good guide that has good standard practices. Basically, put decoupling capacitor across your power/ground terminal to absorb an over voltage. Put a resistor going from the digital pin on the Arduino to the LED strip. Try to make this connection the shortest. You can power these strips from anywhere on the strip. You may need to boost the signal depending on how many you daisy chain together.

On a scale from 1-10 with electronics probably a 3.

I'm putting in an IR port. I had a lot of success with that (and they're cheap) with my LED stuff.

>turn brown and brittle within 9 months

Not mine. I have had multiple strips running for quite some time with no changes in the silicone wrapping.
