The fuse pull is more convenient, and it won't reset your clock &c like disconnecting the battery does. I've never noticed any difference...

Do not drive the car at this time.

Why not? I always have, and have not noticed any adverse effects.

Power from a stop and during hill climbing is terrible on a MT.

From a start, yes, but for hill climbing you just need to downshift and keep the revs up. Even with a (nearly) new battery, I'd run out of assist long before I get to the top of any real hill. IIRC, it was good for maybe 1500 vertical feet at highway speed and about 6% grade.
