I've been to Cervinia and Courmayeur and did a day trip to La Thuile. I did Cervinia 20 years ago on skis, so the memory might not be so great. I did enjoy the place, although access to the lifts/pistes from town wasn't the best (this has probably changed). Conditions were great when I was there - it's good and high so quite reliable snow conditions.I think you'll really like it, much bigger mountain than Courmmayeur and la Thuile, or so it felt, really good from the very top loft (Platta Rosa?). No real negatives from what I recall.

I think both are good, cervinia is a great ski area and with that glacier over the top in zermatt also well worth going for with some really long runs down to the town and fast cable cars back up. I'm always sceptical when you get those old lingering descriptions of somewhere that seem to be played again and again, but the one about high wind in cervinia does seem to be more true than many and it can get quite clattery up there if it's going the wrong way.
Sentriere a bit more gentle but massive area that you'll never run out new runs to ski, also accessible from sauz d oulx which I think is a great place to stay as well.
Good food in both places though, that's true about Italy in general though.

I live in Aosta, when are you looking at going away? Pila or Cervinia are definitely my favourite in the Valley. I am in love with Italy, would choose the Italian resorts over the French everytime.

Depends what you are looking to do. If you are into off piste, and the conditions, are right, I'd go with Courmayeur. If piste is your thing, then Cervinia is probably best.

Did a fair amount of off piste last year at Courmayeur, absolutely loved it!!, just looking for something different in Italy, going to Cervinia its another one to tick off the bucket list
