as far as I know, water levels won't affect mouthfeel. People use anywhere from 1qt/lb to 7 or 8 gallons for a full 5 gallon batch. Mash temps are key.

if you were asking me Banjo, I don't use a ratio. I did once or twice, but did not find the outcome any different than simply going up to 4.25 gal for most average brews. with a smaller or larger grain bill, I would scale up or down a bit (and always err on the high side...it is a lot easier to extend the boil IMO!) and like Jon suggested (he ain't BOTM for nuthin'!) just mash in the high range to get that fuller body. a lot of "real" breweries use this technique as opposed to adding carapils or other dextrins. I wanna say Red Hook and Lagunitas (from a highly respected souce: BN Sunday Session haha!), but I am not 100% certain if I am remembering that correctly. the technique yes, the brewery(ies) maybe
