As for commanders, I usually will not have a commander who is commanding a squad fight, unless he is qualified as a 'super combatant'. Because if your commander routs (fails a morale check by getting hit or feared) or dies everyone under their command will rout.

I don't think that this is true. Routing is only forced from commander death if you have no commanders on the field whatsoever, so a mage with a leadership of 10 can keep 2000 troops from autorouting.
