What do u mean by GND and Power Signal layers ? If you are working on high speed designs make sure that all signal should have proper reference plane.
 

There is no such difference.But you must have polygons pours in those layers..
It mainly depends on the Stackup of your design and copper thickness of your layers....
I would prefer to go with power and ground planes with more copper thickness....
If you are working on a high speed design, make sure you have a proper reference plane...

is this mean that if i use GND and power As signal layers i should use polygons with it ?! and if i use planes i will not use polygons?
 

If you use gnd and power as signal layers or plane layers you must definitely use polygon pours in it...
Try to use Positive pours as marce said...
