I have found the temperature effects bladders quite a lot, if it is cold outside. 40 degrees and below. I have been told there is a variety that is fine in the cold though. I have used thicker walled quite a bit, and it does fine, and in fact I think it is primarily what I have used in the past. They just require more effort to inflate, and take a little more time to train, but they last longer. More pressure can actually make it more tricky to set a needle as well. Like I said in the Head shim thread, I used all of the exact same items, NVA, Prop, Bladder, plane. I just swapped the engine, and it worked fine, so the bladder was/is not the issue in my case. I use the same bladders for my 1/2 A and my Speed limit models now, and I think it is of the typical 3/32" wall thickness.
