I really just want to test the waters and see if I like them.
Thoughts?

The notches in the nut and bridges will probably need to be larger. Since I am not as familiar with the strings you are referring to I can only speak from experience with regular nylon strings.
I have a short scale tenor banjo that I sometimes string with nylon strings like a baritone ukulele. I have two nuts and bridges, one notched for steel strings, one for nylon. That way it is no trouble to change back and forth.

- If I do this and don't like the nygluts, what is involved in going back to steel strings?

Read Zepp's comments in this topic, Zepp has converted many, many banjos for Nylgut use.
