Personally I rarely turn on the cloak cause it's so supply hungry, so I've never really seen the intricacies in play.
I believe that a mixed group of cloaked ships and un-cloaked ships would all be in combat and would fight normally. Don't know for sure though, would need to try it and see what happened.
I use stealth armour for:
1. Deep probe ships. Put in Stealth Armour, 6 engines and 400 fuel from solar collectors (8 x 50, or 4 x 100) and some storage. Then send the ship out and it will not need refuelling and will travel until it hits somebody's minefield or tech levels rise to a level I detector and the ship gets detected.
2. Defense bonuses for ships.
