Default Advise for new to Pu-erh

I've only just started discovering Pu-erh, I've got a few tuos from
Jing and some beengs from Yunnan Sourcing, a few 2005 7542's which I
didnt like, they probably need to mellow, and a 2004 Mengku Wu Chi Dao
which I did like.

I am thinking of getting a few more of the Wu Chi Dao not just to drink
but to keep, is that advisable, for short term will their smokiness
mellow over the next few years? I am also attracted to the 2005 Wood
Smoked that Yunnan Sourcing have because the leaves just look
interesting, is that advisable?

On another subject I am also curious what teapot to get, I've got one
of Jing's 70cc Xi Shi teapots I use for Wuyi Oolongs (that he doesnt
sell anymore) and I was thinking of getting something very similar for
Uncooked pu-erh so I can be more precise with steepings.

Thanks!
