Gifts to best friends: no need, right?
I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Once I reach Best Friends status with people, there is nothing to be gained by continuing to send them gifts, right? I assume I should prioritize all my other friends first?

This all vaires from player to player. If you only have a small list of friends and want to keep it that way then it makes no sense to just stop sending them gifts once you hit cap. Also some people might want to keep sending items (eg stardust, eggs etc) to help other players long after best friend status. So it's really down to the individual.
I don't care about XP either. My only issue is that, with around 40 friends, I can only open gifts from 25, or whatever the limit is, and I can only send as many as I can collect and send in a day. I don't always have 40 gifts to send out, so I have to prioritize.
Obviously, if I have more than enough gifts to send to everybody, I will, but even then, I'd expect Best Friends to open gifts from other people first, due to the limit on how many you can open in a day. I know some of my Best and soon-to-be Best Friends have a lot more PoGo friends than I do, and so, given the hard limit on opening gifts, and the practical limit on sending gifts, I'm totally fine with them servicing other friends instead of me once we've achieved Best Friends status.
