You just have to read a lot. I pesonally NEVER write ある using a kanji, never.
As for いる, good writers write it in kana. Poor ones try to impress others by using as many kanji as possible and fail. "Others" know better.

as for バスを待っている間新聞を読みます and バスを待ちながら新聞を読みます, which would you prefer to say if you are telling your friend that you will read the newspaper while waiting for the bus

Probably the first one, but there isn't much of a difference.

i was thinking abit about the counter 部 and 枚 again, if now we have a stack of 300 flyers (each flyer is only 1 page, the kind made of low-quality paper that are usually given to passerbys on the road which 99% of people throw with/without reading), will that be thick enough to be considered 部?

That's 部 officially. Casually, 枚 can also be used.
It just needs to be one sheet of paper to be counted as 部.
