#4The other two examples are very much worth the time to check out as well (links at the bottom of the page).

#5Most of these are great. I loved the one that showed a little extra text when hovered over. I did not like the ones that caused the link to be disappear or tilt in a way that caused it to be ilagable

#6What do you mean "subtle" and "modern"? I'd go with something more like "gaudy" and "distracting".
Links should be blue and underlined, and visited or hovered-over links should be purple and still underlined. (Or some other pair of colors, that makes links stand out from non-links, and visited links look "faded" compared to non-visited links.)
Distracting special effects just show off you 1337 web skillz and detract from whatever made your site worth visiting.

#7Several of these are actually quite nice.
Granted, they're definitely not link styles to be used "generally", in body text, etc. -- but for an appropriately image-conscious site, they could work particularly in a site header, for example.
Unfortunately it's hard to comment on them individually since they don't really have "names"... but "Wafture", and "Chatoyant" (against red) are particularly nice and tasteful.

Uggh. Token middlebrow dismissal. If that is how you feel, just browse the internet with CSS turned off or with your own style sheet overriding the site's own style sheet.

#9The links without underlines or outlines don't look like links until you hover over them. That sucks because
1. It requires you to randomly hover over things in hope of a link. 2. You can't hover on a touch screen.
Repeat after me: You're a designer. You are not an artist.

No. Keeping links colored and underlined is a good idea.
User interfaces shouldn't reinvent the wheel. They should respect standards so users don't have to relearn commands every time they switch programs. Same for websites: Keep it familiar.
