There's not too much in the way of tips and tricks for claying. Just use plenty of lube (detailing spray), otherwise it can make a mess.

I use Meguiar's with their detailing spray, but there are a lot of good clay bar kits out there.
Adam's has a really nice kit and they are a sponsor. Adam's Detailing Clay Bar & Detail Spray Combo

Here is a series of videos that Junkman put together. One of them covers claying.

I would go with m105 & m205 using a flex polisher or Porter Cable DA polisher.

Mothers clay is great. It's the only OTC clay I would use; that or Clay Magic...plus their QD smells great!
