Currently I have a VPS 5 but I have had non control panel VPSes so I think I am liable to answer this 
1) what are the Linux flavours you use ? centos, ubuntu. please mention version
1 - My favorite flavor is Ubuntu, as for version Its usually the latest one available. (Currently using 18.04). The reason being Ubuntu was the only flavor I really learned how to use since the beginning and I haven't given other flavors a try yet.
2) could you afford to spare / reserve say 3-5 GB space on your HDD for system recovery or reinstall on your own any time you like ?
2 - Sure enough, in my years of VPS handling I have never had storage issues, I'm sure 3-5GB won't hurt
3) do you want option to emergency reboot to a live environment with vnc access and recover / reinstall from there ?
3 - I don't quite get what you mean here, but if u mean if I loose access to ssh somehow and need emergency access via VNC then sure!
4) do you use passwords or key file to login to your vps through ssh ?
4 - I use keyfile only when I have no other choice (Amazon makes u use keyfiles), usually I just use a strong password.
5) what is your current hdd partition scheme ? what would you do differently if you could configure it during install ?
5 - I haven't exactly configured my partition scheme, Its the way It was setup by the provider.
