Yes I use them Ben and they're fine. The DMT diamond is in my opinion better, and I've worn out a number of Ezy-Lap stones. It's not like they last just a week however! The DMT stones are normally more expensive from what I've seen, but the quality is excellent. On the other hand I find the Ezy-Laps are easier to use if I'm just honing tools so they're the ones I normally use.
When using them I will use whatever I have to hand as a lubricant, normally either WD-40 or kero from the parts washer. I don't think it really matters what you use as it's just there to to flush away away the swarf generated. They're not as fussy as natural stones for example, and you could use anything at all.
