Rodney,
Both these topics (supering and queen excluders) are covered EXTENSIVELY in
the archives. BEE-L archives are easy to search at:
http://listserv.albany.edu:8080/archives/bee-l.html
Specific answers you will find in the archives to your questions are:
Supering: Some say top, some say bottom. Recommendation: since it's
foundation not drawn comb, bottom supering is better.
Queen excluders: some swear by them, some swear at them. It's personal
preference. If you don't use them, sooner or later you'll end up with brood
in your honey supers and perhaps a queen in your honey house. Learn to use
them and you'll find them a valuable tool. Some call them "Honey
Excluders", but I think those who do haven't learned how to use them.
Results may vary, depending on location, season, experience, preference and
hair color.
Aaron Morris - thinking learn your tools!
