Yes, and it's the probably the best way of doing it before committing to an LNP of your POTS line.
It's a wee bit cheaper (in my case $13 overall, when figuring in rebate, free month with a buddy referral, etc.) and you can activate service the minute you walk in the door, as opposed to waiting several days for the UPS truck. But, you're responsible for the equipment. If it breaks, you pay to fix or replace it. Be sure to check the replace/refund policy of the store where it was purchased. If you get it from Vonage, you simply call them up, tell them it's broken, and they send out a replacement. As for your other question, the service features are the same no matter how you sign up; it's just the adapters (PAP2 vs. RT31P2) which are usually different.
Depending on how reliable your upstream data rate is, you may have to drop the bandwidth saver to the "Higher" (50 kbps) quality setting to avoid dropouts or choppy calls. I've messed around with all of the bandwidth saver settings, including the "Normal" (30 kbps, lowest bandwidth) option and to my ear it sounded just as good as a typical POTS call. "High" (90 kbps) quality can be marginal on 128k upstream, if your link cannot support it reliably throughout the duration of the call. http://www.vonage.com/help_knowledgeBase_article.php?article=301
I don't know if "Normal" quality translates in the literal sense to what a "normal" POTS line provides (if anyone knows for sure, please post), but if it does then there seems little reason to use High quality and waste all that bandwidth if most/all of your calls are to POTS lines that can't take advantage of it. FWIW, I have two of our lines set to Higher (50 kbps) quality. Line 3 is set to High just because we use it for fax also.
My $0.02.
