Question Screen Printing Posters

okay, I have a client wanting to do a limited edition run of some screen printed posters and im just looking for some expert oppinions.

first, what kind of paper would i use? the posters will probably be around 11x17 or 17x22 and i'll need a heavy weight of paper for quality sake. any recommendations on paper suppliers online or should i stay local?

second... im assuming that i will need to use something with a mesh count over 200 so the ink isnt too thick on the paper?

third, my current pallet is just a normal t-shirt size with neck alignment. should i construct/buy a larger pallet suitable for printing posters or should i try the desktop method. i have seen this method used a couple times and they have hinges to keep the screen in place. any poster-experienced users out there that wanna share their method of printing them or the easiest/cheapest way?
