Diamond blade should last, but if you don't get one that is coarse enough it could grind down way too quickly, especially on steel and marble which I have never actually tried, although I did grind on steel, but it was to get paint off.Either of those will work, but definitely focus on the blade. Diamond blade with a continuous edge rather than one of those notched ones (should make a smoother cut/line).

Indeed. As I said my only experience using an angle grinder is in wood with power carving, but there have been a few times where I've tweaked it and had the blade dig in. Fortunately I don't have much trouble keeping control of the tool, but since I was new to the process and the work piece wasn't secured in some way that meant launching a 10-15 pound chunk of wood a few feet through the air. My cheapo little 600-ish watt grinder seemed to have no problem doing that.

Advantages - no dust and easy to handle with no angular momentum issues to deal with. Sounds great and makes you feel good.

Eh, not sure where you're getting the no dust thing... if you're cutting marble you're getting dust.
