I just discovered this thread and wanted to say what a great idea your survey is, Alex, and I'm wondering where the project stands.
I think that although there are a lot of quite expert active participants here, it would probably be better to make the survey as simple as possible. The danger, I think, is that if the survey seems overly technical or asks too many questions that people can't answer because of their lack of expertise, they won't complete it.
Oh, and for me the big issues are margins and justification. In terms of the former, the categorical difference between any and not at all; with justification, the difference between full and ragged-right.
I'll add my appreciation for your taking this on -- I think it's very worthwhile! And if Survey Monkey is what works for you, then I'd say do it that way, even if some of the finer points are not thus available.
