which would you recommend the Fibrox or the Rosewood handle?

It really is personal preference. The Rosewood has the advantage of a better appearance. The Fibrox has a more secure grip but not as attractive. The cutting edge is the same.Chefs Corner Store

Has the wooden handle deteriorated due to washing with water daily for anyone using this knife so long, through the years? wood doesn't like water!

I do something terrible with these knives. I run them through the dishwasher once, which removes most of the clear finish on the handle. I then sand the wood with very fine (220 grit) sandpaper until they are smooth, bare wood. Then I oil them to within an inch of their lives with Boos Butcher Block Mystery Oil. I only hand wash after that and re-oil as needed. 20+ years on of practically daily use and they are still beautiful and functional.

Does this knife come with a sheath to protect the blade in a drawer? And I'm not talking about a folded over piece of plastic/cardboard.

No, it comes in a package that consists of cardboard backing and clear plastic over top of knife that is molded to form over knife to keep it in place until the knife is removed from the packaging. Once removed there is nothing to protect the knife.

What are the pros/cons for fibrox ffp vs. rosewood?

FFP just stands for frustration free packaging. Fibrox handles are a light weight, durable plastic that can be put in the dishwasher. Rosewood handles are not dishwasher safe and it is recommended to treat the handles occasionally with conventional cooking oil to refresh the wood grain and prevent the ingress of moisture.
