Has anyone worked with ReplicatorG? Can i have a comparison with S3D?

RepG is outdated free software that hasn't been actively developed for almost 4 years. S3d is actively developed/supported commercial software. Really hard to compare.

rep g takes about 4 hours to slice the lefabb articulated elephant (can't give you an exact time after 3 hours I gave up and never used rep g again).
Simplify3d takes about 30 seconds.

Can s3d do mesh mixes like Slic3r does? I want to explore some of the options printing with different fill densities on a single part can offer. I know you can use different settings on separate parts on the prints, but what about separate sections of the same part?

yes - I think, not sure what you mean.
You can have any number of processes on a single print, seperated by vertical height.
You could simply have the print in different bits - apply a seperate process to each part and then move them together om the printbed.
Essentially ending up with one single object with a variety of different settings.
It won't cut a print into different bits though - that would be useful.

in that case - yes.
All he's done is create two models. Applied different settings to each and then stuck them together.

Kinda. The second model just provides an area that modifies the initial part. It doesn't simply create two parts. When you load the second part as a modifier it won't slice that part. It only tells the slicer anything in this area gets different setting applied.

No you don't need to create your own supports, but if you're having problems with supports not adhering to the build plate, a thin model placed under the support will help.
If you have problems with parts curling off the supports, then you may need to adjust your model--adding a few fused support that anchor it to the build plate.
