1. Does it make sense to have 2 different sleds, one for large panels and
the other for smaller stuff? Idea being I'd like to have something really
large for helping with sheet goods. Not insanely large mind you.

Sure. I occasionally will build a new sled for a specific project, if
I don't have one that's suitable. Once you make one or two, you'll
see just how quickly they can go together.

I'll usually glue the runners to the panel at the end of a session,
leaving them in place on the saw overnight with weights sitting on
top. The next day, I can quickly screw on the front and back fences.
Not including glue drying, I can knock one out in about 30 minutes of
actual work.

Large architect's triangles are great for aligning the rear fence.

2. If I make a large panel sled, is there anything I can do to the bottom
of the sled to make it slide easily on the TS?

Shellac or wax will help it slide.
