Hey Zenbolic,
i'm no expert by any means, but i would definitely stick to cmyk on designs, though you may want to rgb your thumbnails and shirt sample pics to get the better look for voting - i'd play with levels a bit and add some saturation to sharpen up the look (which i actually forgot to do with my first design - oops :))

I think for Photoshop you need to design at or close to the actual print size, so that the pixel resolution is right.

Here's what Threadless states on its submission page:
If you are designing in a raster program, make sure you design actual size at at least 150dpi. When you are done, transfer your design to the template. Save off a copy of your design as a gif, jpg or png. If you are also creating an optional flash presentation file, publish your file so that you have a swf of your design. Keep in mind, the file you submit is for presentation purposes for scoring. If your design is selected we will ask you for high resolution artwork.

For your presentations, you might get higher quality if you save the image as a .PNG. And I've found that if I create a thumbnail as a PNG, then convert it (save as) a GIF in Photoshop or Gimp, it eliminates the speckles.

wow awesome agrimony
so 4000x5000 px is quite huge thats like more that one meter !
and ur dpi is like 200 or 300 ?
dont u get any hassles working on such huge scale and when u zoom out u get all this lines pixelated cause some times u have to draw while zoomed or or see ur design from far anyway
ill give it a try ! u work in cymk as well ?
