Collectivos

I just finished searching and reading past threads on Collectivos. Let me make sure I have the information correct:

Collectivos from the airport......BAD (very expensive...p.s. loved Michael's trip report comments)

Collectivos up and down highway 307.....GOOD (cheap transportation)

Just couple of quick questions-
Are there any distinguishing markings on the vans so that you know
they are collectivos or are there several different vans
services/companies that fulfill this service?

Do the drivers speak English or should I be prepared to speak
Spanglish? (Mapchick you crack me up!)

Is it better to use Pesos than USD when using them.

As this forum seems to attract the most intellegent and helpful folks associated with PDC, I look forward to your assistance!
