are there any reasons for using either just the send level or the send level & aux level for balancing the reverb. what are the pros and cons of each or is it just a personal preference thing?

Depends on how you have it set up and what you are sending to it, and how you want it to sound; each session is different. Let's say, you wanted the entire session to sound like it was recorded in the same room, but you wanted the guitars to be "closer" and the drums to be further away. In that case, you would set the aux level and use the sends for each. In other circumstances, you might want the verb more subtle, so the level of the aux would come down. It's all a matter of what the tune needs, and how you really want it.

Should the send be set to pre or post?

Again, your preference. Sending it
pre-fader, the track goes through the send no matter what the track fader is set for,
post-fader and the send gets it's intitial level from wherever you have the track level set. Each has different uses. Experiment with it. See what it does. Figure out how you want it.
