Bob at Superior Threads has great information for threads, needle size for particular threads, tension, etc., I found this page for you:

Now Bob is the master of threadology but personally I use all his advice except I do use cotton thread (his King Tut)...and it is a purely personal choice as I am not fond of anything polyester. I do use rayon for my embroidery work and also silk for specific things.
You can go all over his website and find all kinds of fabulous information in reference to what brand thread, needle size and so on. It just boils down to personal choice as we all have our opinions about what we prefer. So yours is not an easy one size fits all question as you can use whatever makes you happy and what you are comfortable with. Remeber it's your quilt and your way and there is nothing wrong with whatever you decide to do.
