Why do people worry about pedal effiency for gravity sleds....? I mean this thing is probably going to be taking a lift to the top anyways

When you are racing you are more then likely pedalling your a$$ off, and every little bit helps.

It's honestly up to you, Personally I would prefer single, just so you would not need to worry about the fork hitting the frame.

The 66 is more than capable of handling racing use.

Comparing a 66 to a Boxxer is like comparing a monster truck to a dragster. They're used for different things.

How is that so funny?
1-When I'm moving the bike around tight spaces it's much easier
2-When I feel like adding some style as he may want to do while freeriding...
3-During Transportation and storage it is much easier.

It's funny because you're basing your choice of a fork on how it looks, not how it performs.
