correct me if im wrong, but just because user is a part of WHELL group does that mean he/she is a root ? or equivlent of root ?
I know lot of things like "su -" may require you to be wheel group but Im not sure why a user has to be non wheel group in order to log in. I think using SUDO is better than putting any user in to wheel too. but thats just me.

For testing purpose, yes. The default is "no". I think allowing root login in a not-secure environment is a bad idea.
