Much less stress on the gear sets due to better mechanical advantage.

No. The 4.45 gears are from old saturns and opels IIRC. The HHR trans is the same as the LSJ trans, 4.05s.

about $2000 if you factor in the LSD and 4.45s. If you have the Lsd it will save you some cash

Thats the cost for a 4.45 trans w LSD
with your LSD as a core or send your LSD trans to be rebuilt which will cost a lot less

How big of a pain in the butt is an R&P swap, provided of course trans is out already? I'll add my gears when I change clutch.
