Applications installed on MicroSD

Greetings and thanks in advance to anyone willing to field my question.

I just purchased my first Pocket PC, an HTC Titan, and I love using it. Other than Google Maps, I have not installed any additional third-party applications on it but I anticipate doing just this in the near future.

While perusing the forums of Spb Software House, I read a thread (http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9895) in which a question was posed about installing Spb software on a device's main memory versus its MicroSD card. I recognize that some software only allows for installation on main memory while others allow a user to determine the installation location. I also realize that some software, in general, functions better when installed on main memory as opposed a MicroSD card.

Generally speaking, is it better to leave the main memory free of installed apps, meaning apps are installed on a MicroSD card? If a device is hard-reset (effectively restoring it to its OEM defaults) and yet its MicroSD card contains installed apps, will the reset device recognize the installed apps (or must they be uninstalled and then reinstalled)?

I appreciate everyone's assistance!
