If you root the stock rom that comes with it, you'll be able to download OTA updates, as far as I remember. Installinn a custom rom based on stock firmware will disable those updates.
I'm currently running CM11 M7 on my S3.
not on mine, if you check in the settings tab in about phone/device
if you root there will be a flag set under device status which will read custom which in turn will prevent ota updates
and if you flash a rom or modify the bootloader with odin another flag with be set with flash counter and you will get a yellow triangle upon boot (easily fixed with triangle away though)

Well, I grabbed my first rooted app. I installed Adaway and it does what it says and blocks the ads from the free apps I downloaded but the problem I'm now having is that it doesn't block the ads that appear when I browse the internet on my Chrome browser. Am I missing something?
Edit: Found the culprit. Turns out the, "reduce data usage" in Chrome was enabled. Turned it off and everything works now!

The Galaxy S3 camera shutter had no option to be turned off, that was the main reason I rooted...
Samba filesharing, grab it!
The Galaxy S3 also had no options for mass storage and instead, forced me to use MTP which I found to be buggy as hell, rooting allowed me to enabe mass storage.

Xposed only works will if you have stock or a rom close to stock. I have no issues running stock and xposed, it makes things so much nicer. Also, Greenify, like others said, will really help keep your network connectivity down.
I use App Ops since my phone doesn't have it.
And RootCloak because I want to try Z Launcher.
Also have ViPER4Android. This+Poweramp=Epic.
I used to have tons of root apps back when I was still using my old phone. Swapper, AdAway and stuff.

At the risk of getting a, "just google it" question, I really want to try the next step and get the Xperia Z as close to stock as possible. After looking at all the stuff that's running in the background that's been installed by Sony/Vodafone, I just want to nuke the whole thing and start fresh. Some questions:
1. As much as I want to jump straight into this, I want to know what's the steps to make sure that in the case of me messing everything up, I can restore the phone back to to "pre-rooted" days and pretend that I never tried out hacking it in the first place?
2. Out of all the things that Sony included, I really like their camera and I wish to keep it if I ever decide to install a vanilla custom rom. Is there a way to carry it over?
3. If Sony ever decides to update their firmware, will that affect anything to my hacked phone or will the OTA ignore me because I'm on a different firmware?

You should go to your device's XDA forum and read the FAQs there. I can't answer because it's different for each brand.
3. OTA most likely won't let you update because it will check for changes in system. That said, if it does ask, don't accept.
Like everyone else says here, you should really check out the Xperia Z forums on XDA. They will be able to help you alot more, as most likely everyone there will have experience with your phone and its problems. Also, be sure to tell then whether you have a locked bootloader of an unlocked one, as that will make things much easier.
SuperSU is a root permissions manager. You'd open it, update your su binary through it after it asks, and then whenever an app asks for root permissions SuperSU will pop up a window asking whether you want to grant or deny it access, either permanently or for a set time interval.
