Is there any difference if I get the gimbal version + the A36 conversion kit vs the side mount version + A40 conversion kit?
There is no difference in getting the ProMediaGear GKJr Katana Pro Aluminum Gimbal Head with the A36 conversion kit versus the side mount version with the A40 conversion kit. It just depends on what is in stock and available, or if you don't mind waiting for a special order. ProMediaGear offers options to change the gimbal no matter which one you initially buy.

How does this do for pointing your camera and lens straight up overhead, most gimbal heads have restricted motion for straight up shots. In astronomy jargon this position is called zenith. Thanks.
The only lens I use on this head is my 500f4 and it can't shoot straight up.

Just received this tripod head. I am not able to loosen the cradle clamp knob. Is there a trick I'm missing? Thanks.
The cradle clamp knob by the plate should be smooth and easy to turn. I am sorry you are having difficulties with this product. Try loosing up the screw or try lifting the knob. If you are still not able to loosing it up I will recommend you to join our Pro Photo Video Chat department for more assistance.

Does the cradle center above the point of rotation?
Please see the next question, using it for panoramic photography will only work if the camera sits directly above the point of rotation. The question - does the camera sit directly above the point of rotation? This is my question.
