I'd recommend the crayford, for sure. It's worth the extra. It's so much smoother and easier to get to that critical point of focus without shifting the whole image and wobbling the scope when doing so.
Flocking paper is a non-reflective paper that people stick to the inside of their tube to reduce the light reflections from street lights etc entering the light path into the focuser. It helps to get a better contrast (darker background). You don't have to use "flocking paper" though, you can use any non-reflective dark material like felt/velvet. Others have painted their tubes with flat-black paint, others use baffles to ensure the stray light doesn't enter the light path.
