For resawing, use the widest blade your saw will take, such as 3/4", 3 TPI, skip tooth. The wider the blade, the more regular the result. You'll know when the blade starts getting dull by the fact that it cuts less straight - wanders more - and requires more force or starts to burn the wood, rather than cut it cleanly.
