It's odd, because that hasn't been my experience with Android at all. I've got a Droid (not X, not 2, just the original), and the only times I've never needed to shut it down. In fact, the only times it's been off have been from me forgetting to charge it. Last I checked, my uptime was 550+ hours with no sluggishness at all.

With my Droid, I regularly have to reboot to get GPS to work, and I've had the issue on all 3 of the Droids I've had (replaced due to other issues).
Have you tried just toggling the GPS settings? I occasionally have issues with it, but toggling the setting has always worked for me.
Yes, that sometimes works, but there are a lot of times where I need to do a restart of the phone too.
I get pretty bad lag (contacts, dial pad especially) on my Eris after a few days. Advanced Task Killer clears it up though. I feel like HTC Sense users get a lower quality experience in general. Poorer performance, cruddy built-in apps replacing the better stock apps, widget overload by default, too many bundled applications, etc.
I don't think I've ever rebooted my Incredible.
