Hardware based routers are always faster. Besides it is bad to use a Windows machine as a router because it has so many vulnerabilities someone mught hack it.

802.2 and 802.3 are Frame Types. They are just two different ways of encapsulating packets being transmitted over ethernet. For most TCP/IP applications you should leave frame type to autodetect.
