Default Winter Storage

I'd appreciate any ideas or feedback that members can give me regarding the storage of the Crossfire.

I've put it away today after taking the last drive of the year. Everything ran well and I have no mechanical or bodywork issues to contend with. I filled the tank with Premium Shell and put in what I think is an appropriate amount of Fuel Stabilizer (200 ml). The oil/filter was changed. New tires properly inflated. Brake pads and rotors turned (40,000 mi on it now). It's been cleaned, waxed, vacuumed, engine bay detailed, rubber and all seals have been 303'ed and the roof has been treated with 3030 Fabric Guard (it dried in the heated garage for 48 hours). I put the roof down and the car cover was put on it. The insurance has been reduced appropriately for the next 3 or 4 months.

My questions for the group are:
Store it with the roof UP or Down?
Disconnect the battery?
How often should I start it and let it run?
Should I be going to the trouble of putting it on blocks, removing the wheels and wrapping the brakes?
Is there anything that I have overlooked or should consider regarding storage?

I'd really appreciate your insights into the best way to perform the storage prep issues.

Thanks in advance for you help!
John
