I would use the vanilla kernel unless you know exactly what patches
are in opensuse's kernel and you want to keep track of them. Of
course, if you know that there is some driver that opensuse has added
that's not in the vanilla kernel, then I suppose you can try to use
the .src.rpm.

Any .config you want to use is perfectly legal (the kernel source will
add/remove any config settings it needs with the defaults). The reason
your suse config doesn't work is because it expects to use an
initramfs to load your the kernel modules for your hard drive. You'll
need to build those into the kernel unless you want to make an
initramfs, too. If you have no experience with an initramfs, I'd
suggest just building stuff into the kernel.
