i dont do anything crazy accurate.
so it looks like i should start low on the encoder count and work my way up to the performance level i need?
my encoders are pin adjustable. they are the cui 102's

The way I am seeing it is if you keep the higher count encoder then its making things easier for the drive to keep things in position as it should be able to react quicker to motor movement, assuming the drives are capable, which I am sure they are. I personally dont like using electronic gearing as I normally have no gearing  but because this setup has a high gearing then I dont really think cogging would be an issue.
Of course everyone will have their own views ;)

what is electric gearing?
i am running 320x's

Personally I would use electronic gearing if your drives support it. As said I am not a fan of it but with the high gearing you have it would be fine I think.

Electronic gearing is where the DRIVE can take 1 pulse from the controll then output a mulitipled BLOCK of pulses (Say 10x) to the motor for each input pulse.

IF you can "simply" change the resolution of the encoder, try it you may like it. Don't forget to reset the motor tuning to match.

 IF not then try other approachs.

It is always about the final results rarely about how you get there, UNLESS you have restrictions in hardware. Then you are limited to approaches that use the GIZMOs you have to work with.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

You may also need to retune your servos if you alter the encoder count.

so i got my encoders down to 200 count, 4-1 belt drive, and 5tpi screws.

i can net 130ipm pretty easy and she is very much smoother on the xy jogging together. i did notice the speed says it is doing like 170ipm which i thought funny because the motor tuning is @ 130ipm. how does that work?

Is that when moving two axis that you see the higher rate?

yes
both xy are set to 130ipm and when you jog both at the same time it goes up to around 170ipm on the mach speed tach thingy. the table seems to be doing just 130 though. i can hear it running the same speed as it should.
