I would not go with with custom gears unless you realistically have some way to maufacture them. Designing something that you cannot make is a bit of a letdown.
I would download the WCP gears .step files, as well as the one from AndyMark and VexPro, these are a good place to start.
2 CIMS and 1 miniCIM will be legal for this year, but as for next year, we do not know (hopefully it will be!)
As for formulas, download JVN's gearbox design spreadsheet. It is one of the most useful thing you can ever use for gearboxes.
