Question A basic guide to decal making anyone?

Hi guys. I will have to do my own decals for a model bike and I have never done that before and I have run into some trouble. Is there anyone who could help answering a couple of questions then I'd be verry happy.

The conditions are as follows.
I have Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, I have some logos in .eps-format, they will be printed on an ALPS-printer on transparent decal paper (most of the logos and text are white).

The questions (more might come) are as follows:

1. For the final product, shall I use Photoshop or Illustrator, or doesn't it matter?
2. What background color shall I use? As I will print white on transparant paper my guess is that the background has to be transparant as well which I know how to get in Photoshop, but how does it work in Illustrator?

well, now I see that I haven't got a clue of anything really, 1000's of questions popping up....perhaps it better if someone would like to make a shorter tutorial on the matter?
best regards
Joel
