If they only display the first frame on the Gif doesn't it still have to download the whole Gif, so won't it use the same bandwidth?

No because the gif isn't send/downloaded at all.

The images you select (doesn't matter if they are gif, bmp, tif, jpg, etc) for your DP are converted to PNG's first.
