here are my answers to your questions.

1) Maple saddles are the standard and are hard to beat for the sound produced, however ebony tipped maple saddles are fast becoming the rage. Most players still prefer maples saddles though.

2) Becuase your guitar is of the Spider type and not a Biscuit type, it should have two halves, as the spider itself has two halves to hold the two saddles.

3) This is tough to asnwer and is more personal perference, but anywhere between .013 and .017s for the low E, depends primarily on what type of style you will play, fingerpicking or slide or both.

4) the saddle hieght should be as high as it can be with regards to the cover plate. nut string height is based on playing style as well.
