I havent used the mod, so i cant tell you how well it works, what i do know, is others have wanted a product based shipping extension, and it was developed.
I would check that it covers your version of opencart, look at the comments people have posted, and if not completely sure, contact the developer for answers to your questions.
But as i understand it, the extension allows you to set specific shipping methods based on individual products, which is the only way you could have the set up you want, for some and not all products.
And as for the other mods, as i say, Cash on Delivery payment method, is simply a free checkout which records the order details, so changing the language file to say, pay at store, would be no different in terms of functionality, but would show the customer what he/she needs to do.
As for pick up from store, you could in theory totally bypass this, by making the product, not require shipping, but it may mislead the customer in to think it would be shipped, so my opinion is its best to use this method to show it wont be shipped and only handled over once they come in and make a payment.
