so it is up to GM to use Evasion? the difference is 0 damage. half damage?

You do not "use" evasion. It is a static ability that you either have or you don't have.

Here's an example of how it's typically used during play:

An enemy sorcerer casts the spell fireball and targets a space that puts your entire party in the blast. Everyone must make a reflex save to see if they take full damage. If the rogue and the fighter succeed on their reflex saves, the fighter will take half damage and the rogue won't be affected at all.

FINALLY I MANAGE TO TALK SOME SENSE INTO MY COLLEAGUES xD

No more using evasion on zombie bite attacks... god...

That would be a bit ridiculous. Evasion very clearly states that it applies to reflex saving throws.

Honestly most of your questions can be answered by checking the pfSRD or purchasing the core rule book. You can find them cheaply in .pdf format as well.

The issue seems to be more that his friends don't bother reading. Or, that they read and disagree on what is said.

Let's be honest; D&D books are somewhat poorly written, very poorly organized, and make little sense unless you have a firm understanding of the groundwork. OP coming here gives authority to the rules and saves him and his friends a lot of time learning or arguing.

While it sort of makes sense that a nimble Rogue could get that sort of save for each attack, the dynamic is already used by having Reflex Bonus to AC.

Yes.

Most of my problems is my friends not reading the rules propperly. I go blind to certain things when we are ingame, but when we are out of game it's time fight :D but ofc I failed some rules my self since they dont make sense.. but they make sense in a way of balancing
