  I made the same question 1 or 2 months ago...

  It's your choice... if you want to replace your old key, and people is
already using it, maybe you'd like to sign the new one with the old one.

   If you want people to always be able to send emails to you, it is not
a bad idea to have more than 1 UID (each one with a different email).
While you don't use different names, I suppose they won't cause any
trust problem...

  About what to print in the card, I chose to print the full fingerprint
(because after being warned about collisions, I saw one with my own
eyes). I also uploaded my key to biglumber.com, created a tinyurl
pointing to my key, and printed that url too...

  Best Regards
