Maximum jump power is not really necessary though it may be considered fun. A single PPC is not poptart enough and hard to use due to the new speed anyway, and 3 is more than enough to jump over mechs and land safely in brawls. I'd probably run it something like this:
I think not. I like maximum agility and speed. 6 Jumpjets are very nice. If a PPC is too heavy to use, get a ER-Large Laser.
If I remember correctly I tested something like that: Like S7 I don't think multiple jumpjets are mandatory, I mount enough for basic mobility but that's all, I prefer to use the tonnage on cooling. (I finally traded the PPC for a LPLas)
