1. The blue valve is broken?  
Short answer is yes as it leaks. At the very least, I want to replace it with a ball valve as I'm tired of replacing the gasket 
 
2. Why replace a hose spigot with a hydrant if you can shut the water off inside for the winter?  
We turn it on and off throughout freezing weather as the wife will rinse/wash her car every chance she gets. This, in part, is what keeps wearing out the gasket, and is why I want a hydrant. But I've read of hydrants failing, so you'll give me your best input 
 
So many questions. If it can wait until next week, I'm off. 
So many beers available

 It can wait until you're off. Stay in touch.
Oh, and you'll get to see our new grass! It's not the whole property, but it's 300 square feet of sunny seating.
