Gzisimon2: Welcome to Earth Empires. Newbies are always welcome, and ask as many questions as you need too. If anyone makes a stupid comment, ignore them.
So, as Genera Earl says, your example of 10,000 / 1000 = a SPAL of 10.
If the server has just started, having 10,000 spies after a few days is probably a little excessive, but on a server like alliance, having a low SPAL might be a good thing, whereas on Primary, having a lot more if probably a good thing. Honestly, it depends on how far into the reset you are, and what server you are playing. Just like General Earl commented.
Again, it depends on preferences, but, I think 50 SPAL is to much. If you keep failing operations, then more spies, if your totally rocking everyone, then you probably have too much and can cut back production.
I have not heard anything about harmful ops being harder than non-harmful
