Default TRAINER FUEL & glow plugs

Got hit with more snow [:'(][:@], about 6 inches, last two days and still coming down as I type [] so learning to fly is delayed for another week or two until weather permits. And I am getting a *@#+%&^ cold now [sm=angry.gif]

I am getting prepared to purchase my fuel and I have a few questions?

1) From what I read here at RCU and other RC sites is that the best fuel for trainers is between 10-15%. What exactly is the % mixture consist of? Would that be something like 85-90% Nitro and 10-15% oil or ???
2) I was at my LHS yesterday and all he had was 15% in stock. Is that OK to start right off with or (with me never flying before) should I start with a lower percentage?
3) Is there a particular brand that is better than any other? What brands do you guys like?

GLOW PLUGS:
1) What is best that will work in all trainers?
2) Where is the best place to buy in bulk?
3) How is the best way to store them in a field box?
