Cryptarch/engram questions (Destiny)

This is a bit of a scatter shot, but I've seen multiple opposing answers to these questions....

Of the three factors -- character level, Cryptarch level, engram level (rarity) -- what actually matters more in determining the quality of a decoded item?

Does the Cryptarch level not influence the quality of the item directly but only the rarity of the engrams he has for sale?

Does the quality of items scale with your character level or is it independent? (I've seen it recommended by some to hold all of your engrams -- even whites and greens -- until you reach level 20...)

Any insights would be helpful. Thanks.
