It comes down to seniority in your department really, as to who gets the job. Again, up to YOUR agency (unless your performance is so poor that the TF wants to get rid of you). Some PDs/SOs rotate their people every few years out of the task force to give new guys a chance, some you stay until you want to leave. I have NEVER heard of any task forces being "invitational" in the sense that the DEA or FBI or what-not seeks out a particular officer from a particular PD, but.that doesnt mean i guess that it COULD happen. You convince your agency of your merits, NOT the task force or its parent agency. Then you try out/apply for the position no different than you would a DUI task force spot or an investigator spot. The individual agencies set up a memorandum with the task force, and then your agency "creates" the position. A lot of the local pd/so had more than just one guy assigned to the task force. i came from Atlanta, which had every type of task force available. The more major your metro area, the more task forces. Most task forces are located in major metro areas. Once again, it depends mostly on your area.

Whether you get rotated out in your position for someone else from your agency is up to your agency. You have to show some level of productivity. You will work quite a bit, however, the amount of work you do is up to you, but that will also depend on whether or not they want to keep you around. They also have a memorandum of understanding with your agency, usually they agree to pay for up to (this varies) $30k of overtime per year. USMS task forces usually supply you (as a deputized member) with G-ride and credentials, entry gear, and all the toys you can handle. Participation varies from task force to task force. Everyone has a task force now, its the "in" thing to do. Im sure there are others im not thinking of. There are HIDTA task forces ran by DEA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area), there are FBI counter-terrorism task forces, and there are US Marshal Fugitive Task Forces. It varies on the task force and who heads it up.
