7.4 Lipo Battery Advice

So, I keep reading that a 7.4V lipo is basically the same as a 9.6 NiMh battery. I have a few questions on the subject.

Does the 7.4 lipo offer a better trigger response and snappier actions than the 9.6V though? Otherwise why would you ever use the 7.4 lipo?

Is the 7.4 lipo harder on the trigger contacts, wiring, etc? (Is this a general rule of thumb for all lipos or just starting at the 11.1V or higher voltage versions?)

In regards to increased wear and tear (when not fully lipo ready) that a higher voltage lipo brings does the 7.4V minimize this?

I would like to upgrade a couple of stock guns i have with these 7.4V Lipo's if they are easier on the gearbox than higher voltage lipos but offer some of the same benefits of a lipo (a general snappier response all around)

As a note: i have a fully upgraded M4 running a 11.1V LiPo and love it... have had no issues outside of trigger contact wear and tear (i know i need a Mosfet but doing ok without so far)
