Not really, at least not that i could find, but the kitchen generally includes the tools needed to unhide/unlock the extended ROM if it's not already. If a search doesn't produce answers to your questions, then feel free to ask...

As far as WM6 vs WM6.1 - talk of the differences is scattered throughout

Can I verify with everyone here that if I just want the no-frills basic 5060, then on the BuildOS updater, I just need to choose the 5060 6.1m build and NOT any of the other ones? I appreciate your help!

No2chem's builds are very basic, and that's what recommend No2Chem!!!

1) If flashing both OS and RADIO, do I have to do the RADIO ROM FIRST?
2) Can I leave the stock OS ROM and just do the RADIO ROM update?
3) When running the unlocker/hardspl, do I let it go through the whole flash sequence, or just cancel it out when it asks for the ROM file?

Thanks for all the time and help!

*it may not have been BRICKED, but I didn't know how to get it past the VZW splash screen, and the ROM instructed that you had to have the correct RADIO and it was still on the old version*

There is a way to flash the Radio only, but its not recommended. In Fact, over @ XDA where the radio was posted, it was REMOVED due to too many people trying to flash just the radio and ending up w/ bricks. The safest way to upgrade your Radio is by Flashing the 3.35 Sprint Official ROM and then DO NOT let customizations run (soft reset) - then you can flash your custom ROM. When you run the unlocker you shoudl get an RUU - that will put the 2.40 bootloader on your device.

unlock -> 3.35 Official Sprint ROM -> Custom Rom
