You're gonna have to deal with that appliance pretty often, so might as well make it as good as it can be.

Japanese toilets best toilets. The heated seats are even better than the bidets, though.
They are all one unit now :)
Not all of them. I recently bought a Toto toilet, but I didn't want to have to deal with the expense and inconvenience of adding electricity to the toilet, so I got a "dumb" one.
You need one that has a hand crank like a 1910 era car. Or an old plane :)
Having lived in Japan for a decade, I feel dirty whenever I don't use a washlet. Plenty of places in Japan still don't have them, though. A lot of places still have squat toilets, even, especially the more rural you get. Where I last lived in Tokyo, the park by my house had squat toilets (and a urinal that was basically just kinda out there which was a little surprising but not uncommon at smaller Japanese parks).
That reminds me; I need to buy a portable washlet since I'll be traveling.
Japanese toilet superiority.
