One thing I am not quite sure of is when to rely on simple lookup (I keep a lot of information in an text file) vs. when to commit to memory with SRS.

If I remember correctly the supermemo website gives advice about this, somewhere. Its recommended not to be too selective about what to enter into the SRS system. If you find yourself spending a lot of time with an item that's not very useful, simply delete it later on.
