I've read a couple of threads that said DO NOT partition your SD card with CMW, but it pointed towards an older version 3.x I believe. Is this still a problem with the latest version and if I do would it wipe my SD card completely?

You can partition your sd with either twrp or CWM.. Back everything up cause it will wipe your card.
I've partitioned with both the newest version of CWM, and TWRP. Both work fine. Although I prefer TWRP. Reason being it allows you to choose almost any size partition you want.
So backup,backup,backup. But as far as bricking my phone, it's not so much a problem anymore?

If you mean "Bricking" your device by partitioning your card. I highly doubt that. Just follow the instructions of SD Card partitioning you should be fine. THIS guide here has instructions on how to partition your SD Card.

Im waiting on my 32gig micro SD but can I still flash Nvflash and a rom without a SD card ?

Currently cwm recovery requires that you have an sd card to flash a rom. It won't read the internal memory. You can flash the recovery with NVflash without an sd no problem though.

Yes you can, they updated so recovery now reads from internal memory.
Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054492 just make sure you flash the right recovery for internal storage.

when you nvflash there is a choice for internal or external.
reflash recovery and choose the internal and oull be set.
thanks alot guys..
Use this tool to install the version of CWM that uses the internal memory. I think that should work.

I'm wondering if I'm going to switch my rom from an internal based rom (weapon g2x) to an external (eaglesblood 2.3.5), do I need to change my cwm from internal to external support? I just got a new SD card so I'm ready for an external based rom finally. Do I just reflash reocvery for external? Move a folder?

Not necessarily. Just make sure if your recovery uses the internal memory that whatever rom you want to use is saved to the internal memory before you boot into recovery. Same goes for external memory/recovery.
Thanks for the response ... but isn't it true then that rom manager wont work because it'll be looking for it on the external? This was my experience last time, although it may have been because I didn't have an SD card either.

Just noticed this today myself. Glad to see that feature added. This question comes up regularly, almost as much as "how do I root 2.3.3" lol. Now it will be simpler to explain how to flash a zip from clockwork.
When I try to move apps to SD card it says not enough room eventhough I have plenty of room....I don't get it

Try cleaning cache and dalvik in clockwork recovery. also clear market data.
I may be wrong, if so someone will correct me, but on Weapon's rom and Stock rom's the Apps are moved to the Internal SD not the External SD. I think the CM7 is the only one that reworks the mounting to use the External for this.
One thing with the new 'superphones' it's really not necessary to move apps to sd. The g2x has 3 locations in which to store apps. The problem you are having I ran into awhile back. The issue is with mounting or improper format on your sd card. Always, when in doubt, reboot!

After installing CM9-RC2, my backups no longer work in CWM. It keeps insisting that my SD card free space is 0MB, which is definitely not true. I have a 16GB card and there is a lot of free space on it. Has anyone else experienced this?

There are some issues with the SD Card under CM9 (formatting over USB corrupts the FS, slow transfer speeds and possible corruption over USB, and if you try to format the SD Card using CM9, it will format the eMMC instead).
If you have a way to directly connect your SD Card to your PC without using the phone, back up any files the PC can read and format it directly with SD Formatter.
hmmmm, I don't have a microsd adapter to use that reformat tool. However, I'm not sure this is the only issue. I fear that CWM is trying to use /mnt/sdcard which seems to be broken in CM9. My /mnt/sdcard points to nothing. However, /emmc points to the actual internal storage and /emmc/external_sd points to my sdcard. In fact, there is only one file on my external_sd. It is /emmc/clockworkmod/backup where all of my CWM backups are. Also, if I take the external SD card out of the phone, CWM complains that it can't find any SD card and will not backup or restore anything.
i wonder if this is the same issue: http://0xfeedface.org/blog/lattera/2012-06-04/installing-cm9-encrypted-android-tablet

which cwm version r u using
should be the ones listed in my 1st link in my sig
I highly recommend twrp 2.20 recovery to do the backups. You install the recovery using goo manager from the market. The with haptic button install open script recovery. This is much more reliable no matter how many times you flash.

And TWRP is way faster than cwm, it only took 157 SECONDS to backup 1.3Gig of data compared to about 15 minutes for cwm!
