What size of paddles should I put on my TB's? I heard that the smaller the more power.

Not sure but I don't think your bike would benefit from paddles. You need pretty good power to turn the paddles. If you do get them don't get more than a 6 paddle tire.

I am pretty sure I have enough power to put on at least an 8 paddle. But, how high and wide should I go?

A trial blazer stock works to hard with 20x10x8 8 paddle haulers so I put on 6 paddle gliders 20x10x8 they worked the best at the dunes with a stock 250 trail blazer.

I run the Sand Skate II's on my Sport 400 and Banshee. They make a world of difference vs. stockers. They should work well on the TB as well, but if you go to another brand, I would recommend fewer paddles with your lower horsepower (you have a choice with the Skat-Trak). Don't bother with the straight paddles, stick with the v-blades.

Blazer, I checked on the RockyMountainATV.com website and see the Skat-Trak Edge is available in a 20x10x8 with 6 paddles for $182.99 mounted on Douglas wheels. I would recommend this to you rather than the larger sizes because the shorter tire will give your TB a better chance at wheelspin, which is what you want in the sand. The more flotation under power and less digging is what makes it work.
