Authentication and authorisation have nothing to do with properties which is why they should be separate as in the case with XUF. I suspect it is less work to ensure that XUF works with PAS then anything else and this is what I propose to do although the PAS compatability is largely irrelevant.
Well, PAS separates them, too. They are two distinct interfaces, but your auth plugin can implement them both, of course (as does SQLPASPlugin). Anyway, we have a problem with our host. We must either switch to a VPS or dedicated server or use some other CMS. If we don't want to pay lots of $$$ for a nice server we will have to forget Plone...

PostgreSQL is better suited to maintain data integrity both within the database and of the database itself. IMO SQLite might be suitable as storage for a single user application or in situations where in-memory is okay. But for little more than that.
Since we have shared hosting we can't install PostgreSQL, anyway. We'll have to stick with MySQL.
