I typically dip my sack in the wort for only a few moment, but it is amazing how many hop particles stick to it. So I find that a sack does help, if only a little.
Kinky.
Not entirely unpleasant, and I usually don't have to pitch yeast.
How did this go from hop additions to yeasty sacks?
Like anything else in brewing, there are very few shoulds, better, or bests...most of the time it is purely a matter of preference. What works for you. I stopped using anything like that after about my third batch...I now dump everything in. Since I leave my beer in primary for a month and skip secondary my beer is perfectly clear, so it really doesn't matter how I do it.
You'll have to try different ways and figure out which way you like.
