I think there's only the one, and it shifts groups partway through. Stone Ocean's translation is okay, it doesn't have the accuracy problems of Part 5 and it's certainly no Duwang for readability, the typesetting early on is just super awful if I remember right.

So, from what I can gather, Rohan is just Araki's self insert character.

He consistently denies this is the case but it's also totally the case.

(Thankfully this edition of ArakiSaid™ is just in an interview or one of the little blurbs at the start of a volume I think.)

Johnny was the main character. Sorry.

I was gonna say Gyro was the mentor but then I remembered they actually pass the mentor mantle back and forth as the series goes on.

Gyro is definitely the main character in the beginning, and Johnny is very definitely the main character at the end
Gyro and Johnny are equally important through most of the series
They're both the main character. The protagonist and deuteragonist, and who is who depends on the fight. Johnny is protag for Ringo Roadagain, for instance, and Gyro is for Wekapipo.

If only because the C-Moon fight is really great and then he just ends up upgrading his stand through nonsense.

The C-Moon fight is peak Jojo. To avoid getting turned inside out, I'm going to turn my heart into a mobius strip. One of many reasons why Jolyne is the best and Stone Free is the coolest protag stand

what are the arguments for and against "all star"

For:
It was a top pop rock hit in 1999, a consistent line of logic that lead to other songs being picked for the other EDs
It's under the Warner Music Japan label, so Warner Animation wouldn't have to pay a dime to use it
It's bizarrely appropriate to the tone of the first half of Part 4, at least

Well, I mean it's fine if they're bolded and poo poo, the thing is just that the quotes look awkward in English. You can easily get the point across just by bolding it, you don't have to put in quotes.

Unless they're still the corner brackets, which is the ideal. Things being the work of an enemy 「Stand」 is very important.

Used twice but it landed a punch as intended once! Johnny is just so freaking good, how he is not the consensus number one is insane.

Johnny is extremely good, but the problem is that Gyro is also extremely good. Because they're both extremely good, I think it's easiest to say they're the best duo, but Johnny by himself is not the best Jojo because that is definitely Jolyne.
