Mesh screen size? Confused, need help!

Hey all!
I am new to this forum, so I am not sure if I am posting in the right section, please re-direct if wrong. I would like to start screen printing images onto canvas tote bags, my issue at the present time is trying to figure out what mesh screen I should get. I know that 110 mesh's are the "standard" and are good for thick ink deposits and work well for blocky logos/fonts etc, however the images that I plan on screening are my own personal illustrations and are very detailed and contain a lot of lines etc. No half tones or anything, just a lot of fine lines and uber detailing. I was looking at 156 mesh screens, but I'm still not sure if they will allow for a finer line and detail. I'm kind of stumped. I've attached an image of one of my designs to show how detailed the artwork is... maybe that will help.
Any suggestions/feedback is greatly appreciated.
