Found some B5 in my area - a few questions

I'm new to running Bio, but I've done some reading and still have a few questions. I don't yet want to try making my own, mostly due to lack of space to do so. However, I have found a station in my area that sells B5 and I've got a few questions about it.

1) Is there even a point to running a blend of only 5% Bio?

2) I've read that Bio will "de-slime" the insides of the fuel tank and lines. How concerned shoud I be with this if I run only B5? Or, how quickly do you think the fuel filters will clog up and require changing from B5?

3) I regularly use an additive (usually DK or Stanadyne) when filling up with regular #2 diesel. Is is suggested that I run an additive with the Bio, like the B5?

Thanks in advance for the help. I've got a lot to learn about Bio.
