WHILE and JUST AS vs JUST LIKE / THAN

Which would you say? and are they correct grammatically?

1 Don't eat while playing/Don't play while eating

The playing is longer than the eating??

2 He hates me just as I hate him./just like I hate him.

3 It'll cost you more to fix zipper than the cost of the jacket.

4 He's richer at 24 than me when I was 40.

5 I a little more than tripled my investment. (Is this how you'd say it?)

thank you
