you use mixtures of organic solvents, --> different retention times for the different compounds on the thinlayer.
depends what you expext to find.
if you think you have polar substances in the solution , you use polar solvents. and nonpolar solvents for nonpolar substances.

i take it you know how thin layer chromatography works?
