Drum Heads mega question

I am about to rehead both of my drumsets! (hasn't been done in awhile)

I don't know what heads I want to use on them. I am a big fan of remo, that is all I have ever used, but would not be opposed to try Evans or Aquarian. I am also looking for general tuning tips/recommendations too.

Drum heads

I have a couple of questions on drum heads. I'm not a drummer, but I own a Mapex M Birch set for the studio and I've been working on trying to get it sound as good as possible. I'm recording mostly folk, alt. country, jazz, etc. The two drummer that I am recording most have a pretty light touch - though I have a couple of heavy hitters in now and then.
