You could put all the build data for all your projects into one folder as per Xcode 4 - build output directory. This way you will not bloat your project folders with unnecessary compiled data. The you just zip your folders and sent the archives without having to delete the build folders.

On the other hand the best practice is to use an svn or git source tree to share your data with other developers. You never commit your binary data to the repo of course, just the code and optionally Xcode data.

Hope this helps.

You can delete the build folder in Finder without causing any problems.

As for other strategies to reduce size, I would just make sure there are no unused files still lurking in your folder (old images, classes, etc.)
