What would be the best way to make use of getResources properties in this application? For example, if you want a tplFirst and a tplLast or even a tpl_N setting?

There's not really a way ATM, tbh. Since Articles's UI is appealing because it's a static list of settings, I haven't really made a good UI yet for the dynamic properties that tpl_N and such do. (tplLast and tplFirst could be added to the settings list, file a FR).
Eventually I'd like to find a solution for it, but for now, it's limited. Remember though; all templates and content fields (incl the Container Template) can have MODX tags, so you could just put a getResources/getPage call in there.

I suppose one could use getResource's default property set. Would settings there be overridden by any properties set in a getResources snippet call elsewhere in the site?
Ah, yes, I see what you mean. The internal getPage call used by Articles is just an automated convenience. So I can see not getting too crazy with the options; anybody who wants a seriously customized version can indeed put their own getPage call into the container's main content instead of the automated placeholders.
