I was wondering what times are the most important. Would a 60, 30, 15, and dry hop be good enough to get lots of hop flavor and aroma? I tend to get bogged down in the times, playing with 20 and 10, and 2 minute but am not sure if the differences in time really make a big difference.

Without a doubt, the most effective way I know to get massive hop flavor is the hopbursting technique.

personally from my observations, anything beyond 20 gets lost in terms of aroma and flavor, the less time in the boil the less aromatics driven off, I like to do a FWH, and the a 15 minute and 5 minute addition, and sometimes a flame off dose

Also an aroma rest works well(add flameout hops in higher quantities and don't chill for an hour), you need to adjust bittering hops as well as this adds bitterness as well. The hop flavors can be huge from this technique.

I have done this for up to 15 minutes
