I found the answer. You use the same number of gelatin sheets regardless of the type you use. "One sheet from each type of gelatin will have the exact same gel strength. The weight of the sheets varies which allows for them to have the same gelling power as each other. " This quoted statement is taken from this article.

I am a beginner to making entremets (mousse cakes) and I have found a recipe that calls for gelatin sheets. However, it does not give the gelatin bloom strength or the number of grams. In the list of ingredients for the mousse it says that "2 gelatin sheets" are needed, and in the ingredient list for the mirror glaze, it calls for "5 gelatin sheets". Does anyone know what bloom strength I should use? Is there a standard to go by when the strength is not given? Thank you.
