I would say dont uninstall Chrome, FF and SM are too close as far the engine 
goes, if you have trouble on a site with one, most likely the other will behave 
the same too.

Well, SM with mails and all (~20000 mails, gdata provider, gcontactsync, pgp, 
lightning) uses as much memory as Firefox or TB alone (10-20% more after a 
while, but still). That might be a win for someone who has lower RAM.
You dont have to run them separately - you have the mail button on the lower 
left corner, you can close the mail component, it will sync in background and 
notify if there are new mails.

You can. They are 99% the same. I transferred mail and whatnot between them. 
You can even brute-copy everything (mail folders, contacts), but i dont 
recommend it.

Seamonkey 2.7 syncs with FF, just make sure you have close versions.
