How do people who own T's feel about this?

I've been thinking about getting one and I know that crickets and some other 'bugs' should make up most of a T's diet. But I've also heard of people supplementing with pinkies and with larger spiders larger mice. I just watched a vid on youtube of a T eating a hopper.. (but you know what kind of crap ends up on youtube)
I breed mice and hate the smell of crickets so I know I'd prefer they could eat mice all the time ... but it's just wishful thinking. I will always put the animal first so if I get a T I'm gonna be making the trip to my lps for crickets every week or so.

BASICALLY I'm thinking of getting one and would love all the info I can get.
Let's say I'm getting a G. rosea for question purposes.. though I like the idea of pink toes(A. avicularia) too..
How often do T enclosures need cleaned?
Are uricating (sp?) hairs really a big deal?
Best substrate?
What about webbing? Do all T's make lots of web?
Anyone been bitten? Want to share a story.

spiders actually kinda freak me out.. but snakes used to too and now I've got 4.

Please don't just point me to aracnoboards... I've been surfing them but they seem really against people starting new "beginner" threads, they just point to old ones.. and I'm like 'yeah read that! still have Q's'. lol.
