1) No, no, no, don't skip all AW and look for WG unless you cannot find FAW from AW... always focus on finding FAW and trading with your alliance/comrades for the first week of the event (which is the time that advanced EH is not open). If you have decently capable teams for advanced EH, always follow this route (otherwise, still focus on FAW, but go into WG at least once per day and spend a key or two whenever you feel like it, just make sure you've used all of the keys before event ends.)

2) Advanced EH gives crazy points. If I nail 999999 DMG on all 6 enemies in advanced EH, I get around 100k points without any point boosters. Just imagine what the points would be with boosters. Advanced is open the second week of the event.

3) It is also extremely difficult in comparison to int. EH. For example, on AOE wave in intermediate, the damage is laughable to my strongest team (which is all maxed G/H/UR). However, on advanced EH, without the elemental shield, my strongest team will die to about 4-5 waves.

I am not sure what you're asking by R/SR/UR more common in adv, as the rewards for all three difficulty modes stay the same -- just the amount of chances (from chimry coins) to pull rewards increases the harder the mode you're in. Personally, since on all elements at least 3/4 of my teams can clear their rounds (for cool and dark I am able to do 4/4) I just stick with advanced, as the points gathered, and chimry coin drop are worth the swords I might have to spend. If you are doing advanced and are not sure, always have a decent stash of swords on you just in case.

I hope my information helps you. Sorry if some of it isn't clear or I didn't explain well. I'm like you, I remember ranking before FAW were introduced, and now comparing how VC has evolved is monstrous when looking at the whole picture.
