Personally I'd buy local so you can feel / see the paper stock and select the one you think is most appropriate. You want something reasonably thick so it doesn't buckle. The main influence is budget though... people think the difference between a Gildan and an American Apparel is huge, but it's nothing compared to the range / gulf of paper options you could use to print a poster. It's not as overwhelming as it sounds though, and if you go somewhere decent they'll be able to advise you.

Yep, you'd normally use something in the 230-300 range.

Normally you'd use a vacuum table. I've never printed posters on a carousel, so I don't really have any advice there. I'm sure you could do it though.
