While I haven't thought about spending yet, I'll probably sweep the entire amount out of my wallet at once and won't use that wallet again.
A good idea in general, but doing so will obviously reveal your entire stack since you are combining all the inputs in a single transaction.
However they are only different visual displays of your wallet private key.
No, they aren't. As we've discussed above there are fundamental differences between a single private key paper wallet and a seed phrase paper wallet.
For private key, it is more complicated but also means private key is a better secured method to back up your wallet.
You can brute force missing private key characters just as easily as you can brute force missing seed phrase words. In fact, it's quicker to do this since you dont have to go through all the rounds of PBKDF2 and multiple child key derivations.
