I used HLAE for our IL runs. But maybe it was before the steam update.
One thing I know is that host_framerate doesn’t work as it did before and might not be able to serve as a pause function. Load times would likely be better with NGHL too.
As for the scripts; It depends to which level you wanna use scripts. Depending on the fps and accuracy of ducks, duck-bunnies can be almost as effective as hop-bunnies as demonstrated in the graph by airstrafers. So I think you gotta decide if you should use it as a major movement method. If not, as said before, there will be no need for a loop script. The ‘only’ use of script will be for triggerdelays.
