What would be the benefits of using the stereo inputs/outputs of my guitar effects/processors rather than mono? How would it contribute to a live performance? What is required to make it function properly? Is stereo primarily for recording purposes? In a nut shell, what is the difference between the two?

Mono results in a stronger signal all around, but stereo allows you to split the feed. In a live performance, especially if it's in a large venue, I'd say it's best to stick with mono because that way it doesn't matter what speaker a given audience member is sitting in front of. However, if you plan to record your performance, you should consider using stereo pickups run through a mixing board, with left/right strengths being adjusted according to band members' placement on the stage for the recording...and then pump both channels out as one mono channel to the live speakers. That way you get a nice stereo recording, but noone in the audience gets badly skewed sound just because they're sitting two feet away from one of the speakers.
