A restore has to be done or is that just recommended for a clean install? Isn't updating via iTunes allow you to still save your blobs?

A restore has to be done or is that just recommended for a clean install? Isn't updating via iTunes allow you to still save your blobs?
Got it. I always do a backup before I sync anything anyway, so I'm covered there.
For #2, that would be the update. But for #3, everytime I've done a firmware update, none of my content was erased, with the exception of any JB apps that I have. I would assume that the same would happen here, unless Apple is returning the iPhone to stock after the firmware update. Is that the case?
BL.
I always do a restore instead of an update, start clean.
You can always get your stuff back with the regular itunes backup, takes a bit more time but it makes sure you'll really start fresh.

The thing is, Apple will be losing people as time goes on, and the people with older Jailbroken iPhones switch to Android, and people see what Android is capable of customization wise. Sure, it's not a majority of users who want to JB, but it's still in the millions.
I'd switch to Android eventually (after the 4S and 5.0.1 becomes too old to bear).
You'd need root access to do everything, like getting free tethering, which is the original feature that drove me to JB.
Only consideration for SHSH's is the OTA update.
Like said before a clean restore is best.
SHSH's can be saved without actually being on 6.1
I'm still on 6.01 and 5.1.1 but have 6.1 SHSH's saved with TU and redsn0w
No.
That's not actually restoring, it's jailbreaking.
Restore/Update to 6.1, save your blobs, and wait.
Well I am set here, updated through iTunes and restored from my recently created backup, saved my blobs so now I will impatiently await the jailbreak. 
When the 6.1 JB comes out. What is the best process of going from a tethered JB on an iPhone 4 6.1 to an untethered? Re-run JB tool? Restore and run JB tool?
There is no way you can evaluate battery life thus far as the update has been out for hours.
Did you restore to 6.1, or update? If not, try restoring first.
Next, charge your battery to 100%, run it down to nothing, and then charge it back up again.
After taking those steps, compare battery life
Restore from iTunes
Should I back it up first? Will it restore to a clean install?
You should always back it up just in case something goes wrong. You can choose from your back up or you can set it up as new
How and why do you need to save blobs? Des this not happen during a routine backup?

Thanks by the way.
