I've got a great 'ol "Mod" plane somewhere in my archive's its a Zone-unfriendly Spitfire with a Jet engine!  :o - Perfect for Ozzy I'd say!  :D

My Choice, Prop, preferably four of 'em.  ;)

In between. See it from a positive point of view. You don't have to mark a checkbox and press a button. ;D

It depends. what point of view are you coming at this with?  Operation wise they fall under props.  Price wise under jets. Efficency, back under props. Mechanicaly: under jets.  It depends. :P

Quite simple really. Look at a turboprop and you will see a big spinny thing on the front of the engine. This means it goes under Prop. ;D

Aaaahhh, but it not's sooo simple...you see it has a bunch of little spinny thingies driving the "big spinny" thingy as opposed to a couple of those uppey-downney(or sidey to sidey)thingies!
