Question Difference between hamster and other rodents (newbie q's)

I've had gerbils for a while now, and got interested in winter whites (mostly cos they're cute!)

I've been doing a bunch of reasearch already, but want to ask a couple of questions

What are the biggest differences in care for winter whites and other hamsters?
Biggest difference in care for winter whites and gerbils? (Plastic toys aren't safe for gerbils, but they seem to be safe for hamsters?)
Biggest MUST KNOW about care for winter whites?

Should they be kept in pairs? Alone?
What is the best substrate? Other alternatives?
What is the best nesting material? Other alternatives? (I know about the no fluffy cotton!)

Are there any good links for this information? I've googled a bit, but haven't found any really good 101 resources.
