I don't really understand your question. Can you maybe rephrase your question?

The question is:

Once I connect the USB-miner, and put the cgminer to mine bitcoins.
This will make my CPU usage up to 100%?

  It has no affect, you can choose to only mine bitcoin with this USB port ONLY.  You don't have to mine with CPU or GPU.  Just plug it in, install a miner, get all that stuff, and you're ready to go.

Ok, thanks!

But, I have another question.

For mining, what is the best hardware, a ASIC, an FPGA or a Graphic card?

High power graphic card is the best.
