re: do I need to check the box for the parent category or just the appropriate child categories?

You can select just the child category, no need to check the parent. Without delving into the gory details… when selecting a child category, you are in effect also selecting the parent because the child is within the parent. Hope that makes sense.

re: we will be wanting to use the Form extension that allows folks to add themselves to the listing – moderated though!

Link is the addon which allows allows you to do that. Form adds the frontend editing capability.

Hope that helps!
