If someone wanted to make gourmet tasting coffee should they use preground roast coffee from folgers, maxwellhouse, hills brothers, mjb, chock full o nuts, chase and sanborn, ect... or use whole beans to grind instead???

Whole bean ground. But when I used to backpack, I tried everything and ended up carry instant coffee. Less weight, less equipments.
Find a local roaster and invest in a decent burr grinder. As for drinking instant? I personally would rather not drink coffee then. My folks give me a hard time. Every time we go for a meal they get coffee after. I decline. They say," I can't believe you have been in the coffee biz your whole life and you won't drink coffee when we go out to dinner." I explained that I do not drink bad or stale coffee...I would rather go without.

Good coffee is.. Good. Could be better. But when it's 24° F out there and I want a hot coffee, even the instant coffee is heavenly without all the extra weight and waiting for the prep. Of course, if I'm at home, I don't mind the extra work. I remember getting my Wood Badge training. Back then, I didn't drink coffee. Acid would turn my stomach. But third night sleeping in tent below 40°, had to have something warm. That cheapest cafeteria coffee with non-dairy powder creamer was the best thing I've ever had.
