actually 120fps is the cut off in flash. i like 60 as well but most video cards can't handle more than 24fps. i tend to animate around 30-40fps myself since i aim for a higher quality user.
the motion editor in CS4 doesn't make the timeline any smoother but it does make the lines your animations follow better. it's less about making animations lighter and more about making animation easier to control in general.
there's no real answer to your "use code or time line animations" question. it really should be based on what you're working on. timelined animations for navigation rollOvers might work best but then section transitions might be better suited with code. it's all subjective.
but as for which Tween Engine to use, i'd stay away from the Adobe Tween Class that comes with Flash natively in trade for TweenLite. it's a lighter import and can handle more calls for animation at once. check out their benchmarking on GreenSock.com
