>>she won't go very high once honey fills the combs.
Questions: Who does what and for what reason?

To be sure super frames are free of brood AT THE TIME of extraction.

>>Plastic vs. Wire excluders

I've only used plastic.  Heard wires can pull apart in handling and 
give queens access.

>>Will and do excluders reduce the efficiency of honey storage in a  
super?

Not is you create an entrace bet. the bottom super and the excluder 
and block off the bottom entrance leaving there only a small opening 
for drones' use.
