As for the rest of your suggestions, yep, they would be grand indeed!
I think there is a letter in the current S&T about seeing them with the naked eye. Apparently, in the US at least, there are a couple of cases in the next few weeks where two of the moons are quite close to each other so the combined light increased to about mag 4.3 or something when they were quite far from the planet giving a separation of several minutes of arc. They said is may be possible in a dark location to see them (as one) especially if you can block out Jupiter with something.
