i personally an not to familiar with the sensor and its life span but to answer most of your questions, YES.
YES, you can install a permanent sensor bung and remove/plug the hole when you are not using the WB.
YES, you can permanently mount the controller in your car if you so chose to, but if you are thinking of making the sensor removable then you at least want to wire in a switch to turn off the wide band controller when the sensor is not hooked into it.

YES, it is possible to use the wide band in place of the factory o2 sensor, but keep this in mind. if you do placement plays a big role in the life span of the sensor, most WB manufactures recommend putting the sensor about 18" from the turbo. also you will need to wire the wide band to the factory ecu somehow, the LC-1 has a couple of user definable outputs (most do) that can be programed to simulate a factory o2 sensor. but lets say for example you want to make this removable then that means you would be switching back and forth from wide band to the narrow band, if you don't have the wide band programed 100% to match your factory sensor then when you switch over to factory your tune will be off.
i have a TechEdge WB unit and i try to keep it somewhat removable especially now that i have two cars that i might be playing with. as long as my wife doesn't find out about it.
