I have heard nothing but great things about WM service and I am sure they will steer you in the right direction.  good luck.

With my LT15 I used the standard WM 7's for 90% of about 20 different species of hardwood.

Then I sawed my first pecan lien and the band got so hot it smoked and scorched the band. So I put in another band, and did it again.  Oops.  I switched to WM 4's and they worked fine.  So my standard bullpen strategy was to use used .045" 4's for pecan, hickory and white oak, 7's for everything else.

The LT15 was a great mill, it cut very flat lumber and my never gave me a minutes worth of trouble.  
YellowHammerisms:

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.
