Answer 1

Have you given SWFUpload a look?

Answer 2

This tutorial explains how to mix SWFUpload and Paperclip (if you haven't it already, you definately should have)

Answer 3

We've used Uploadify (add .com for the website) (requires jQuery) with Paperclip and had pretty good luck. Nested model forms and multiple uploads are trickier (same problems will be present with SWFUpload), but for the simple case of a single upload, even 100MB uploads (make sure production web server is configured to handle files this large) or more, it has a Flash progress bar with nice styling and lots of options. Uploadify was covered on the RailsTips blog a while back.
