Answer 1

I found another option so you can just use @Html.EditorFor() with templates:

Say I have this enum:

public enum EmailType { Pdf, Html }

I can put this code in Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/EmailType.cshtml

@model EmailType
@{
    var htmlOptions = Model == EmailType.Html ? new { @checked = "checked" } : null;
    var pdfOptions = Model == EmailType.Pdf ? new { @checked = "checked" } : null;
}

@Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x, EmailType.Html, htmlOptions) @EmailType.Html.ToString()
@Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x, EmailType.Pdf, pdfOptions) @EmailType.Pdf.ToString()

Now I can simply use this if I want to use it at any time:

@Html.EditorFor(x => x.EmailType)

It's much more universal this way, and easier to change I feel.
