About a 10/70 needle should work for jeans. You can also find thread specifically for jeans at places like JoAnn's.

When you're hemming the jeans, are you planning on totally removing the current hem threads? If not, they'll be very bulky, and tough on any needle.
I usually use Singer needles 90/14 I believe is what they say.
Denim thread is great specially if you want them to look like they did when you bought them, but it's a pain to thread sometimes. Gutterman makes it in several color ways. Personally I just use regular thread that matches the seam thread.
