What memory card do you recommend with this camera? Brand and size?

Really depends on how you intend to use the camera. I take a lot of pictures of my kids. Also depends on what resolution you set your camera to take photos. You should be fine with a 4GB card, but I have purchased 32 and 64GB cards just so I can keep most pictures in one place. Any brand of SD card that you trust is fine.

I want to know what is in the box? Does it contain Eyecup Ef,Battery Pack LP-E12,Battery Charger LC-E12,Wide Neck Strap EW-300D and some other things?

The eye piece is the standard rubber ring. You have to go to Hoodman to get a cup. One battery and charger are included. The neck strap is narrower than others, only about an inch wide ... but the camera and lens are so light that you don't need a wide neck strap, the one in the box is fine. It says Canon and EOS on it. The box also contains the manual (which you don't need) and CD with software and USB cable and warranty card. The kit lens is great ... not the fastest focusing lens, but small and very light and good IS. Any other lens makes the setup heavy and front-heavy. You can carry the SL1 and kit lens around all day and not know it's there. I usually keep the SL1 and a 220EX speedlite in a smallish holster bag.

Besides price and weight, what's the difference between this camera and the T3i ?

These two cameras are very similar. The advantages of the T3i: It has a flip-out screen, and a battery with a longer life than the SL1. But the SL1 is "newer" than the T3i, and therefore it has some tech advantages: (1) It is 30% lighter and smaller than the T3i (and this is a significant advantage when you carry the camera all day); (2) It provides continuous auto-focus for videos (which the T3i does not provide); (3) It has a "touch screen" for enlarging and shrinking shot playback; and (4) It offers in-camera HDR. Since technology is constantly improving the quality of cameras and sensors, I would opt for the "newer" vs. the "older" DSLR releases.

Can I capture still shoots while recording a video? Or do I have to switch back to photo mode to do so?

Yes, but... In move mode mirror is lifted up. If you press photo capture button, camera will lower mirror, adjust focus and exposure, lift up mirror back and finally capture image...then will continue roll your movie. It will make about 1-2 second gap in move sequence (kind of disappointing). You dont have to switch modes.
