first fixed road bike ....need cogs

WEll im on the quest for my first fixed gear. I have a old timer raleigh road frame that fits me perfectly and is in great shape for being late 70s early 80s.

I just ordered a new wheelset and now need a cog for the rear. ANyone have any good fixed gear cog recommendations? Ive got a flip flop hub comming and my front sprocket will be 48 (the smaller of the 2 on my bike now....the larger is 52).

IM thinking i want to start around 14 tooth and see how that fits.

Im going to need the cog and the lock ring when my wheels show up.

Also...can you use the same chain and just remove links from it or do you want to run a totaly different chain at this point?
