I say play the visual novel before watching F/Z, or just go straight to Fate/Zero. The first episode is supposed to be a one-hour special, so one can judge whether they would like this series or not by the long introduction material.
Yeah, this.

It's definitely worth playing the VN before watching Zero, if you intend to play the VN at some point (especially HF), but IMO it's not worth watching the anime first.

I don't see the point in watching the anime for that purpose, though. Most of what Zero spoils is in UBW and HF anyway, and the FSN anime spoils those almost as effectively anyway. And, it's not like there won't be subtitles which are available without having to stream it through Nico Nico, so I don't see any rush to watch it.

I believe it's supposed to be 25. They've stated that there is enough time to not only cover the original light novel in its entirety, but also to add extra material on top of that that isn't in the original novel.
