Chromatic Note Names

This was mentioned in another thread and I was going to take it to PM's, but there was some (albeit minor) interest in Chromatic Notation the last time I posted something, so I figure I'll throw it out to the rest of the world:

Mostly a question for Durero, but anybody else, please chime in:

Takes some getting used to, but I love how the #/b notes have their own name instead of a modified version of the 'white key' notes. Completely gets rid of the need for #/b's just as the chromatic notation does (along with clefs, key sigs, and notes changing their line or space in different octaves.)
Do you use this universally? So a "C" becomes "do", "riffing in A minor" becomes "riffing in 'la' minor" and a D major scale would be "re--mi-ke-so--la--ti--ba-re"?

Or do you bounce back and forth and still use "Ab" as a pitch class label?

The Ultimate Question: What string gauge is needed for 18.84# of tension when tuned to E2 on a 27" scale guitar?
