I use the Technics 1210s, classic DJ turntable. Lots of other models 
have come out in the recent years, take a look at turntablelab.com for 
example. Haven't really tried any other than the 1210, but I hear that 
the Vestax models with straight arms are good. Just don't go for the 
cheapest gemini crap.

How many loops did you use in FW at

Not too many in this mix, about 3-4 I think. I'm working just now with 
having beats playing in Hydrogen, and then live loops and sound effects 
on top of that in FW. For the trigger you can use the keyboard, or do as 
I did, make a pedal out of an old joystick, solder it to an old mouse, 
and use an app called mousemidi to convert the mousesignal to midi-pedal 
messages.
Alternatively you could buy a midi-pedal ;)
