I am due to catch route 49/a/b from Gateshead to Winlaton and catch Toon Link to Newcastle. I understand both sets of services feature dual-door Renowns, and as I can rode one on route 49/a/b I would prefer my Toon Link bus to be an Eclipse. Does any ToonLink route mainly see most Eclipses?

Winlaton's Eclipses are usually turned out on early morning Toonlink runs secured by Nexus and specifying whatever Euro standard engine they have. As a consequence, the 0802 ex Prudhoe is usually an Eclipse. The interworking goes 11/31/32/47/32/31/11 and takes about six hours to complete a full circuit (!) so if you download the timetables you should be able to work out where to catch at least one of these machines.
