I would get an alignment if you changed the suspension height. The static suspension geometry is going to change a bit.

$50 is probably about par for the dealer, but probably a bit higher than a tire store (I'd expect $30-40 - not a huge difference). Quality is more important than the difference in price to me. I hate bad balance jobs.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't take it to an alignment shop, as long as they do it to specs.
