After studying the Aleomagus guide from the Forum and reading every post associated with those threads, I embarked on my first effort to win PP sit and gos. After 100 trials, I was ITM 44 times (12 1st, 14 2nd, 18 3rd) with a net gain of $97 dollars. If I move to the PP 10s, will there be a significant difference in the style of play or level of talent of the players? Small bankroll that I want to slowly build is the reason for starting in the $5s, but have to hate that 20%!

Also, if I had played exactly the same set of games, results, etc., at Ultimatebet, the lower fee of $.5/tourny vs $1 would have given me a net of $147 vs $97. However, these tournies, without careful tracking on my part, seem harder. Does the difference in structure between the 2 (UB higher start of $1000, slower increase in blinds, different players, whatever)require major adjustments from the style of play recommended in the Beating the Party guide?
Any feedback very much appreciated.

Identical. Change nothing. And read the FAQ.

There is little to no difference between the 5 and 10$ SnG on Party. You should either move up to the 10$ immediately or move your money to another site that only charges the .50 in rake. That 10% vig will drag you down.

Many players, myself included, play mostly at Pokerstars. I have heard good things about Pokerroom as well.

I started at UB and had good success there, but I find the competition to be the toughest at UB. Tougher than Stars on average.

theres no difference in play from the 5+1 to the 30+3. the 10+1 might even be easier.

I'm convinced that $10 SnG players are just $5 SnG players that won the day before. Very few thinking players, lots of over the top LAG action. As a for instance, I just played one where UTG raised 4x, I fold my KJs UTG+1, CO reraises, UTG reraises allin, CO calls. CO had 99, UTG had 33. What the holy PopePoop is going on?
