How much semigloss and flat paint equal satin paint or eggshell paint?
If you mix a flat and semi-gloss 1:1 you should end up with a paint in the eggshell range. Mix the same paints 1:3 and you should end up with a satin. Experiment with small amounts to get the desired gloss.

Is textured paint or flat paint better to paint with?
I LIKE FLAT PAINT. IT IS CHEAPER AND EASIER TO CLEAN. TEXTURED PAINT IS HARDER TO CLEAN BECAUSE OF THE GROOVES IT CREATES. THIS IS WHY I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FLAT PAINT.
How do you paint the cut-in so it does not show after everything is painted?
Cut-in should technically be done prior to rolling the walls and ceilings because you want to keep a "wet edge" so when all of the paint dries, it blends together. But if you are using a flat paint, this rule is less strict and you can usually get away with doing the cut-in at any point. If after cutting-in (and allowing the paint to dry) you find that you still see the cut-in lines, (and assuming you are using flat paint). Cut-in a second time. The amount of paint on your brush is less than your roller, and cut-in often requires two coats. You will want to "feather -in" the cut-in line into your wall (or ceiling), i.e., dip your brush in your bucket and using the edge of the brush pushed into the cut-in line, apply your paint and drag it along the edge of your line, as your brush releases the paint, stroke the nearly dry brush into the wall or ceiling that you are trying to blend into, this is "feathering." If you are cutting-in with an enamel paint you will probably have to cut-in (do it twice, waiting between coats to let the first dry well) and before the second coat has dried, re-roll the wall, bringing your roller up into the cut-in line.
If you apply ceiling texture should you mix the flat paint in as well?
YES
How do you decide to use eggshell or flat paint?
The difference between flat and eggshell is a very simple but important one. Flat paint is not washable is should only be used on surfaces that do not get touched... ceilings are the best place to use flat paint. Eggshell paint has the ability to be wiped, using a soft cloth and a very mild soap. This makes it perfect for the walls in a bedroom, a dining room or a living room. I have used eggshell throughout in homes that do not have children as adults tend not to get smudges and prints on their walls.
