Answer 1

1 - depends on how you define "better". In general, I prefer to store binary assets in the database so they are backed up alongside the associated data, but cache them on the file system. Streaming the binary data out of SQL Server for a page request is a real performance hog, and it doesn't really scale.

1. If an attacker can get to your hard drive, your entire system is compromised - storing things in the database will offer no significant additional security.

3 - that's a whole question in its own right. Too wide for Stack Overflow...
