You have a lot of basic questions that are answered in a must read white paper for any CLARiiON admin called:
White Paper: EMC CLARiiON Best Practices for Fibre Channel Storage: FLARE Release 26 Firmware Update - Best Practices Planning

You can find it on Powerlink at:
Support > Technical Documentation and Advisories > White Papers > Configuration/Administration

Regarding question 1 though, both models are the same as far as the capabilities and performance are concerned the only difference is that on has only FC front-end ports (f) and the other has FC and iSCSI ports (c).
