It all depends on what you like! HCCD + WWW will give you a moderately bitter, light colored beer with decent body and a hint of malty sweetness. Cherries will almost always come out with just a hint of tart cherry flavor, and the simple sugars may thin things out a bit.

Yep the foaming up when you add fruit is normal. Basically what you've done is kick started fermentation again by introducing new sugars into the wort. It'll subside after a few days and you should be able to bottle a week after adding the cherries. Just be sure there're no more bubbles rising up to the surface before bottling.

Ok i checked the fermentor after 5 days that i added the cherries i notice some pinkish flakes on the top..is this skin from the cherries? Will the yeast eat them? i can see some floaters a lil sunk in..will this clear in a few days? give it another week?

probably fruit skins... they might sink and settle, give it a full two weeks from the time you added the fruit until you bottle. that's what i do, at least.

just try to be careful not to get any skins in the bottles when you bottle... otherwise, the yeast will continue to ferment the sugars in the skin while it's bottled, and you'll likely end up with an overcarbed beer... been there, got the t-shirt.
