Would I just use the new method or does the jailbreak survive the reset and I would just need to reinstall the hotfix?
If I use the new method is it necessary for me to disable special offers?
Lastly, does a factory reset revert back to the factory firmware version
or would it go straight to what I’m using now (5.7.4.1).
Thanks.

The contents of the 'hotfix' has changed.
It now includes the MrPI searchbar command.
If you want that, just re-install the current hotfix.
NEVER DO A FACTORY RESET
Only the signature certificate survives, you wipe everything else that you have added.
Only if you want to be able to recover the device in case it boot-loops during the downgrade.
If that happens with S.O. still enabled, you can always recover it by using the serial port.
No.
If it did, why would we be installing the factory firmware to begin with?
No.
It wipes both user areas. Read Step #2, including the spoiler.
