Questions about PANTONE and HKS and support with spot colour problems in print and prepress

How accurately can my PANTONE or HKS colour be matched in the proof?
Which CMYK value is best in PSOCoatedV3 for a specific PANTONE colour?

My PANTONE colour looks very different in the proof or print than in the colour swatch? What could be the reason?
I would like to compare different PANTONE colours and CMYK equivalents side by side on a sheet. What should I pay attention to?
I only have an old colour swatch and no current PANTONE colour library on hand. Is there perhaps a better matching colour that I don't have in my swatch?

Should I use a PANTONE colour for printing, or can I achieve a more affordable but identical or at least similar result with a CMYK variant?
