Granite 1,
Sorry Im a complete newb to this rooting thing. When you say wipe the SD partition do you mean undo the partition then redo it before you flash a new ROM? These are the steps I take when flashing a new ROM, please point me in the right direction if wrong.
-Nano Backup
-Wipe (cache, dalvik cache, data)
-superwipe
-Flash new ROM
Am I missing a step? If so can you provide details on what else I should do? Also if I have flashed a new ROM with the steps I have listed do I need to go back wipe and re flash? Sorry for all the Q&A but like I said im a "NEWB"
ps: I have flashed about 8 ROMs going back and fourth using these steps, hopefully I havent screwed anything up.

your supposed to wipe sd ext. too....and when you make a nandroid include sd ext. as well in the backup...
if you go to the rooting guide under partitioning you'll see....

yes its in the same place as cache, dalvik cache, and data...its torwards the bottom of the list....if your not having any problems then i wouldnt worry about it....but if you absolutely want to do a new install, then just wipe like your supposed to (including sd ext.) and reflash the rom...however unelss you have titanium backup your going to have to re-install any apps n whatnot you had on the rom before.....then once you get it all that done, you can go back into your recovery and make a nandroid (include sd ext.) and your all set....but like i said if your not noticing any problems then i wouldnt worry about it....just make sure you do it in the future....

if you mean that if you have to re-partition your card each time you flash a rom, then the answer is no. it will stay partitioned until you re-format your card.
I didnt know your supposed to this.......

rebooting no if you set up the 99supercharger file to run as root and run at boot and save the configuration, its gonna start by itself when u reboot....
kernel flash...i dont know...usually i have one kernel and stick with it for awhile....but if you want to check, all you have to do is go into root explorer and look at the 99supercharger file and see if it has that figure 8 looking icon next to it...or you can look at your minifrees by running the V6 Supercharger file again and see if they are still the same as before...
