I usually let them soak in vinegar overnight. Brush them clean with a toothbrush.

Same here. I usually use a diluted vinegar solution for a few hours and a soft bristled toothbrush.

would a 50/50 vinegar/water be ok or should it be a little more harsh say 80 vinegar/ 20 water? And im guessing the water would be RODI. Or does it really matter?

Probably doesn't matter...

The vinegar wouldn't mess with a ph probe?!?!
