Death comes to all characters eventually, hopefully as a result of old age, but sometimes when a frank exchange of views with a nasty NPC leaves you on the wrong side of this mortal veil.
There are a few options when it comes to dealing with death in PFS, but they all have different restrictions, conditions and costs. This handy flow chart brings everything together in one place so you can quickly work out how much it's going to cost you to cheerfully mock the reaper!

I'm not really sure why something this simple needs a flowchart, but...in the 'Can anyone in your party cast Raise Dead?', you should probably mention that a lower level caster can make do with a (relatively easy) Caster Level check. It also wouldn't hurt to mention that the cost for the scroll is actually HIGHER than hiring a caster.

Although almost nobody plays it this way, I believe breath of life does remove all memorized spells from a prepared spell caster.
Death and Prepared Spell Retention: If a spellcaster dies, all prepared spells stored in his mind are wiped away. Potent magic (such as raise dead, resurrection, or true resurrection) can recover the lost energy when it recovers the character.
The 3 spells listed give each memorized spell a 50% chance to be retained. while breath of life does not.
Also
Creatures brought back to life through
breath of life gain a temporary negative level that lasts for 1 day.

Yes but the temporary negative level goes away without a restoration and you do not need to worry about it becoming permanent. If their spells are wiped, they probably should be able to at least prepare spells after being revived in slots they have not used yet that day.
