I want to set up new iPhone correctly when it arrives! Please advise

Question

I own a 4s. My husband's iPhone arrives in 2 days. We share a Mac book and have a family iPad. I have read all of the posts about the benefits of sharing an apple ID for purchases and apps but that it is best to use different IDs for the iCloud. Our Mac book, family iPad and my iPhone all share the same apple ID.
Here is my first question:
When his phone arrives will it prompt me to set up a brand new apple ID and if so do we create a new one or use mine and create a new one later for iCloud?
Second question:
We want to share our calendar and do have a google calendars account. Once I set up our shared gmail account on his phone, will the calendar show up in the calendar app? Is it okay that our gmail log in is the same as my apple ID but will be different than his iCloud apple ID?
Thanks in advance for any help!!

I HIGHLY suggest He create a new AppleID for himself.
He can do it now then simply use the new AppleID when he gets the iPhone.
Best suggsetion its to have a computer login for him wtih is own iTunes and then he will have his own contacts, calendars and all other data.
He can do that now & set up iCloud then when he gets the phone, he can simply enter his AppleID and its done.
