Not really, despite running tons of programs in the background, the os hibernates the applications when not active to conserve power.
So I would say not necessary.

Been using advanced task killer and love it. I have been using the auto killer but it kills data and voice.
Does anyone know which apps or processes to add to the exception list to prevent that?

Protip: Task-killers are absolutely worthless on Android. If you want to manage running apps, get something like Autostarts that changes PERMISSIONS.

That is really true, I had always heard that but until I actually used Autostarts did I realize how it handles the system and running apps, all basically on it's own.
Has anyone else noticed that the XDA App for this forum uses CPU even after you exit the app? I installed OS Monitor and it shows XDA App periodically using 10 to 15 percent even though I had selected the EXIT option from the XDA App menu.
After I killed the XDA App with task killer, I was fine. I know task killers are a controversial subject, but this is why I use a task killer.

Exiting an app and closing it are two different things.
So how do you properly close the App?

Ditch the task killer. It is probably hogging more battery than the apps you are worried about closing.
Android OS has a built in task killer. It will open and close apps when needed. Task killer apps are overrated and cause other issues.
I use advance task kill and it seems .like whenever I open it it says I have apps running that I didn't open. Why is this, and how do I stop that?

With Android, you don't need to kill tasks. If it's not using CPU, then its not using battery. Task killer apps do more harm than good.

You can't stop these apps from opening. The OS does this when it feels like it. The best to do is buy system panel, enable monitoring, and prove to yourself that those apps are using zero CPU by checking the CPU list.

I don't believe to two are very relevant.
Well task killers are ok but i would go with something like fast reboot. Its acts like a task killer but instead of killing the app it signals it to restart or reboot so this way it stops correctly and frees up memory

I use no task killer app on my phone and it runs awesomely smooth at 600 mhz thanks to supercharger. What's more I only have 128 mb of ram.

Advanced Task Killer is bad because it is too aggressive and kills important background apps like the alarm service, etc. If you want a task manager download the new Astro file manager (it has a task killer built in) or ES Task Manager.
There is a very good tutorial on xda I don't have the thread handy but it explains why task killers are bad

Is there an app like a task manager or something similar that asks your permission before it runs? I use advanced task manager but there are always apps running after I run end task.
