Yes, but I think the question was about the actual media and hardware to use (and buy), and so it is something different.

Yes, that's what I mean. I don't own an A3 printer.
But I always suffer from that being somewhat too small for really usable scores. If I had the printer or would find a suitable service provider I would prefer folded A3+yes, a bigger page would be better, but it would be expensive in the current situation :(
Yes. There's a reason why most classical publications use larger paper. I think LilyPond's default page layout (i.e. the page margins on A4) is quite ugly, but if you make the margins larger you have a significantly too small page area and line width for notation, so it's probably a necessary compromise (think of the page layout LaTeX gives you if you simply throw some text on its default document classes).
