Is a large screen better than a qwerty for typing?
-No, but it's close enough with Swype and SwiftKey.
Is a large screen better for gaming than a smaller one with qwerty?
-Not really. Maybe in some instances, but qwerty tactile is awesome.
Is a large screen better "in general" than a smaller one with qwerty?
-Yes, slightly.
Now what about a large screen with a PEN ?
-Yes, it's even better, no doubt.
What if the keyboard is modular, can be swapped out for an extended battery or gamepad with joysticks?
-Hmmm, good question. I think the flexibility of the modular design claims the win, especially since the large "phablet" cant have a portable joysticks/gamepad.
What if there's a game controller (eg Datel TurboFire2) which can dock the "phablet" in, what would be better that, or modular?
--Impossible question. One would be better video and sketching wise, the other better portability wise and gaming. But both solutions very competent in all situations. Even I can't decide.
Whatever ROM you're using, try Gavin Lewarne's HydraCore kernel.
It's devilishly fast, can overclock & undervolt your device, is stable, did I say it's fast? :-) comes with full sources and scripts to configure and compile.

This looks quite promising and fixes some current problems with GNote. Does it effect the use of Linux on Android? It really came in handy when I was at a conference and had to convert some ppt to pdf on the fly so I don't want to loose this capability. Would you point me to step by step instruction on how to install this kernal.
Okay don't use HydraKernel versions lower than v3. There's a bug that causes data corruption.
v3 is online now (as of a couple minutes).
Also don't use AOKP version 40 (outdated), or milestone 6 (buggy).
