To answer your first question : YES you will need to run hotspot when using Pandora or any other Internet based services. Most android hu have Sims slot where you can buy a sim and pay monthly for data like a regular phone.

The oem hu is perfect for streaming music and it's also good if use your navigation every now and then.

An android HU is for those who wants to have apps like torque, youtube, etc. It's more of a distraction than anything. Stick with the oem if you're only using the programs like you mention above.
