Congratulations on the new kit. It's probably going to sound very nice with those new heads.

I hope. DO I need to keep the bottom heads tight or loose?

It's whatever sounds good to you man. There are some people that tune the reso heads just slightly lower than the batter heads, some people tune them the same, and some people tune them a chunk lower.

WHAT WILL GIVE ME WHAT SOUND?

In my experience, having your resonant heads slightly tighter than the batter heads will give you the most sustain (resonance). Having them even will still give pretty good sustain, but having the reso looser will generally give you kind of a gated sound, where the note dies off rather quickly.
