2.) Ideally they get off to a great start in AA and get a boost to their morale. You don't want them to stay there long enough to get bored with the competition, but a month of domination can help them be in a great place when you move them to the more challenging league.
The dev boosts per level idea is bunk though and shouldn't be a factor. Morale does need to be considered, but it shouldn't be the main factor. This guy seems to be on a fast track and it doesn't seem likely he should have to stay in the minors long enough to get upset either way barring an injury. Skipping a level is a little bit riskier, I tend to be more conservative. You should approach things your own way.

That's a good thought on my scout overrating him. I did check what OSA says and they have him at 70/80 at AA and 65/80 at AAA.
