I am usually a NLHE 1-2,2-5, mid-stakes tournament player. I also enjoy Limit from 8-16 to 15-30. So the question is this. I am going out to the Commerce for the first time tomorrow and wondering what are the best games out there for someone of my level to play?
Not sure if the 2-5 is soft or the 1-2 too slow. Are the limit games tough or easy?
Any thoughts on good selection out there would be appreciated.

Commerce has 9-18 at that limit, and that's about it. They offer 8-16 w/ half kill and 15-30 but I think the 8- rarely goes and the 15 is long dead.
The 9-18 game can be very good. Lots of loose players, sometimes a few maniacs to pump up the pots. It can also be pretty tight at times, but they usually have about seven games on Fri/Sat evening, so you can table select.
Being a pre-July-4th day, I'm not sure how many tables they'll have, but I'd guess at least five, maybe as many as a weekend.

Regarding NLHE, I suggest you start in the 3/5 $200 buy-in cap and feel you way up/down from there (likely up). In case you haven't heard, the Commerce now spreads two 5/10 NLHE games, a $400 cap and a $500 to $1500 cap. Next biggest game up from there is the no cap 10/20 game. All four of these games have a distinctly different texture from one to the next and requires adjustments to your game plan.
Regardless of what you read about Commerce players, do not buy into the myth that Commerce players are weaker, looser, donkish or whatever adjective you wish to insert (proof: How often do you see a post that says, man that card club has the toughest players ever?). I believe that in any given population of poker players in any major card room in America, you will run into the same basic ratios of tough vs. weak players. What the Commerce deliciously serves up is spectacular table selection giving you an above average opportunity to find the right game with the players and dynamics suited to your game.
Good luck
