IL2 works great on win7 64bit. be sure to set it to run in XP compatibility mode SP3 with administrator access.
The UI packs were rolled up into HSFX with the latest revision of HSFX which is 4.1. There is another pack called UP which includes HSFX and allows you to turn it on and off or even switch back to a stock 4.09 config using JSGME. You can get more info on UP over at http://ultrapack.il2war.com/index.php.
Some folks prefer HSFX, some prefer UP because it includes HSFX and a little more. Its all semantics. I personally run UP for both online and offline play and use JSGME to reconfigure my game depending on the situation. The downside, is that its a large install. The upside is that its available via torrent.
I'm aware of the addon packs you mentioned but don't have any first hand knowledge of how to integrate them in a UP or HSFX install so I won't speculate there. I will say that there are tons of campaigns and individual missions available for download over at mission4today and elsewhere for free that will keep you busy for a long time. BOB has been done to death.
