I highly recommended using Razor, however keep in mind that there are other view engines available too.

Definitive go to MS ASP.NET MVC site, Pluralsight and the MVC team blogs

Answer 4

No question about doing Razor -- it really makes development much, much better.

I think the real question at this point is "Should I start on MVC4 or just use MVC3?" Their dev cycle is pretty tight, in many cases you are better off aiming at the version of the framework under development lest you end up needing to upgrade immediately after publishing.
