Are SSF's and their start dependable on broker? I have particularry IB in mind.
Also, where can I find more "practical" info on trading with SSF's?

You can check out http://www.onechicago.com which is the other exchange offering SSF.
Good points about trading SSFs but back to the original question: does going long on a stock plus selling SSF contracts add up to a bullet?
Also, would a broker recognize this as a net neutral position from a margin requirements perspective?

There would be fewer reasons to want to be long a stock and short the SSF of the underlying, but SSFs will only be available for a small number of stocks.
The bullet is for someone trading the stock. Obviously you won't need a bullet for trading SSFs. There may be still reason for trading stock over SSFs. E.g., the stock has lots of liquity but the SSF doesn't. There may be other reasons for staying with the stock.
