Doesn't g729 use less bandwidth than g711? So it should have better 
performance and resource management.

Correct in that g729 will_not_work.

Difference between uLaw and aLaw is not that important for your ITSP.

uLaw is a US & Japan standard, aLaw is a Euro standard. aLaw is meant to be 
easier for PC's to understand, but they use approximately the same bandwidth 
and are both generally supported by most ITSP's.

Your ITSP "should not" care what codec you use as long as you use one that 
is supported. Every time a call is placed or received there is a negotiation 
that takes place to determine what each side can do "an offer is made, 
g711ulaw, if it is accepted, it is agreed upon and uses that", in a 
nutshell.

It might also be worth mentioning that G711 codecs are "free" whereas G729 
requires a license or royalty to be paid.

ok let me know if i get this right.  for my DID origination, they support 
using G729 codec.  So if I set G729 in my ITSP (gafachi) sipx will be able 
to negotiate with the codec?  Or do you mean that my ITSP would have to be 
explicitly configured to use G711 ULAW (or ALAW not sure what's the 
difference is)?  I tried doing G729 in my ITSP and the calls will not go to 
my sipx server.
