Hi,
I would like to play SS2 for my very first time. Which Patches/Mods should I use?

I'd recommend playing it only with the official patch installed. If anything else, then SHTUP.

Is the music quality bad in the original version? I'm asking honestly because I've always turned the music off.

It's not as good as the high-quality music.

The music quality in the base game is 22kHz ADPCM. SHMUP upgrades it to 44kHz PCM. The difference is probably only noticeable if you have a really good sound setup.

The change is mostly appearent if you use headphones, because the ADPCM files are rather hissy (but it's probably a you'll-notice-it-once-it's-gone thing for most people). The increased sample rate is only subtly appearent, since most things in the SS2 soundtrack happens in the lower band.
Unfortunately there is some ambient SFX with hiss of it's own (the harp-y garden ambient, for example) for which no source was available :(
