I never have done so - and I am panicking about whether to do it this year. Any opinions?

I blogged about it when we brined our first turkey last year.

It was very good.

Yes! It was the moistest and yummiest turkey we ever had, and I've never gone back to the "old way".

Should you brine just a turkey breast or no? It is a 9 pound bone in whole breast.

You can brine any kind of meat, I think.

I haven't made a turkey in a couple years, but the last two I made were brined and they were incredible. Made me like turkey again. I don't think you can screw up the brining except maybe from a food-safety point of view. Just keep everything cold all the time and you should have no worries there.
