Is CP more important than IVs?

CP you can change by powering up the Pokemon, IVs cannot be changed, so higher IVs always have priority over high CP. The most ideal situation would be both, of course. Higher IVs will naturally give you a higher CP pokemon once it's fully evolved and powered up.

Should I evolve Pokémon based on CP or IV?

It doesn't really matter unless you care about PVP. Cp is determined by base stats of a pokemon, the pokémon's level, and its ivs. Because evolving a pokemon only changes the base stats not the level or ivs, it doesn't matter if you power up a pokemon before evolving or after the cp it gets to won't change.

Are Pokémon with higher CP better?

So, a combination of a Pokémon's hidden Base Stats, IVs, and Level are what dictate its CP - the higher the better, but remember that just because that Drowzee you caught has higher CP than your old one, that doesn't necessarily mean it's stronger. It might just be a higher Level.

They'll still have an effect, it just won't be as noticeable At level 50, the difference between Perfect IVs and 0 IVs is about 15-16, still fairly significant at that level, but not as wide a gap.

Should I keep 1 of every Pokemon?

Once you've got enough strong Pokemon that that's less of a concern, overall, I'd say keep two of each. Keep a spare in case you screw one up or it evolves into something you don't like. Also, if there's 150ish Pokemon and 250 slots in your bag, that's pretty close to making the math work.
