As far as hard links go, you can only use them in the same filesystem.
They are useful for allowing one group of people rights to alter a file,

Well, I don't think so. See below for a quick experiment:
I stand corrected. I swear I used to do that, but lord knows what kind
of system I was on. So after a little research, it appears the only
advantage to a hard link, is it is exactly like the original, while a
soft/sym link is a pointer to the location of the original.
