I notice that in the pin assignment on the third page they have system LED and reset sw. Does that mean it possible to use the GPI0 to power on the board instead of soldering the tactile switches on? If so, what are the advantages to one over the other?
Yes, the signals duplicate here. There is no particular advantage to one over the others, just for convenient and also also some POT module able to directly power on or reset Pine A64 board if the design choose to do so.

Try always to use the shortest cable from psu to the pine64

For power in point of view, thru Euler port power pin allows more amps. The original plan is allow POT module to supply power directly to Pine A64 board so that no need to supply power from micro USB port. One example like designing 20 watt class A amplifier on the POT board which require high power consumption where a high app power supply such as +12V 3A type is need, the POT schematic can drop +12V to +5V and supply to Pine A64 board.
