To answer just the first question (my wife got me the series for Christmas), Spiros uses a modern Greek pronunciation (OI, H = "ee", AI = "ay", no rough breathings, etc.).  I have to confess that his voice is somewhat grating, especially compared to the stuff out on http://www.greeklatinaudio.com/, but he reads more slowly and somewhat more distinctly, though still with some feeling.
