I don't mean blogging just to blog but I would think a niche-specific enough blog would rank without all the serious added action here. OR, I would suppose all this would be required if your blog is about a super saturated topic? Question 2 - Is a blog superior to a website in terms of ranking simply because all these plug-ins for generating extra traffic are available, and pehaps, easier & faster? Thanks!

I think you've got the wrong point, most plugins are tools to help you rank in Google better, the next plugin you'll need will be an anti-spam plugin, you can also use a related post plugin good for deep-linking and keeping older posts alive for much longer, you can use social plugins to increase traffic as people have an easy way to add your site to the major social networks floating around. It might seem like a lot of plugins but in reality they all only take about 10 minutes to set up but they will save you 100 hours in the longer run.
No a blog is not better then a website, the only reason why the search engines like blogs more is because they continually change there unique content WAY more then a website does, most websites are considered static and only get newer content once a month or once every 2 weeks where most blogs recieve several new content in a single day.
