Used them when I first started out around Dec last year, seemed fine and they produced some decently average homebrew beer. Then again, I had no idea about anything then...

No idea, never used it.

You could always throw it into the boil as a yeast nutrient, I've heard of that being done but never tried it.

They are all mostly Saf ale yeasts. For example, when I called them to find out - the yeast that came with the "hoppy" Macs Pale Ale (with Saaz) the yeast was SafBrew S-33.

I have used the yeast once in an emergency. I recall that it is Saff - that is why you get 11g instead of the usual 5 or 7. I must asmit when I used it it turned out OK...
