We may well end up with vastly different strategies. For example some smoother drivers will be able to go longer without neededing to stop whereas people like Hamilton will need to stop more often. Could be the case that you get Button one stopping and LH 3 stopping, obviously that's a bit extreme but 2 more stops (with no fuel penalty or advantage) can ruin a race so the smooth drivers will, in theory, suit the system better.

Depends how much faster the aggressive drivers will be able to go, especially considering that they will have new tires available every 20 laps or so, so they will be able to push almost continuously.
With pit stop times being reduced to less than 20 seconds, a driver doing 2 stops will need to make 1/3 seconds per lap to beat the one stopper, not that hard.
