I've had good results with Nottingham and Safale S-04. Any type of neutral ale yeast should work fine. I don't have much experience with wine yeasts. Also, Wyeast 3068 (wheat beer yeast) worked really well for me, but was a very violent fermenter. Use a blow-off tube for that one!
The amount of honey, temperature of the must, pH, nutrient level, and yeast strain are just a few of the factors that influence how long the primary fermentation lasts. Once the fermentation lock stops bubbling regularly it is time to rack. Continue to 'Racking and Secondary Fermentation of Mead'.
