In some way or other?

Hi, all.

First, is the above greeting correct? Should it be "Hi all," instead?

Second, is the phrase "in some way or other" correct?

Do we replace this with "in some way or the other" or "in some way or another?" Or neither is correct?

Your thoughts will be much appreciated.
