Obviously, multi gene animals will speed up the production of higher end (ie. more gene) animals.

As far as what morphs to get, two pieces of advice I've read are a) to decide what you want to produce and get morphs that will help toward that goal, and b) get morphs you personally find appealing by themselves. It'll be a lot more fun raising snakes that you think are cool than otherwise. I'm not sure we'll ever actually breed our snakes or not but I've purchased the ones that will help me produce my 'dream snake'.
re: pieds, its like a bell curve. Consider it on a scale of 1-10, 10 being best. Breed a 10 and a 5 and you'll get mostly 7s and 8s, with some approaching 10 and some approaching 5. Take one of those 7/8s and breed it with a 10 and you've moved the bell curve up. Sure you'll get some below 5 or 7 or whatever, but the likelihood of getting 10s increases. Just selective breeding.

The last bit is good advice, breed what you want that will give you what you want to produce.
