No you will not need it any more (but its good to keep for emergencies/if your PSP breaks and gets replaced/helping friends), yes you can use any memory stick.

Once you are running a custom firmware, you will use a normal battery and any memory stick you want.
The pandora's battery and magic memory stick are only needed to get you from an official firmware to a custom one.

Upgrading from one custom firmware to a newer one also does not require the pandora's battery/magic memory stick.
