2. Should I use wrapper type?

It depends. Both exist for a good reason.
Primitives should be preferred as much as possible. They cost less, and are non-nullable, which avoids quite a lot of potential bugs.
A wrapper can be used to represent a nullable value (for example, in JPA, to represent a nullable column value in a database, or in JAXB, to represent an optional element or attribute of an XML element).
