No, most plugins are calibrated at -12 ,so pushing a 0db into a plugin can cause internal clipping, this ofc is a massive generalisation but, better the be on the safe side, unless the saturated/distorted sound is what you're going for.

I would say.. only if the sound is completely finished, if you still want to do a bit more with the sound, i'd say don't bother normalizing it - you might need the headroom

Quick question, has anyone used M/S mastering to get more "Gain" in their track, or is it just something that doesnt work with hardstyle? Im curious, because of http://tcdnb.com/the-dark-arts-of-mid-side/. If anyone is using it is there any good guidelines or just by ear?

One of the main things you try to achieve when mixing is making sure sounds are not in each other's way. This indeed helps with getting more volume out of your track and one of the tools you can use is panning and mid/side processing. However, always make sure that your track still sounds good in mono, as most people who will listen to your tracks will not be in the ideal position for stereo
