I'm afraid there's not any simple answers to any of your questions. If I may suggest an alternate approach. It might be easier to visit your lfs or do some reading and decide on a species or two you really want to keep. Then, research what your chosen species' needs are. After that, you can determine what the best filtration etc. would be for what you want to keep.
135 gallon Lake Malawi tank, (electric yellows)120 gallon (clown Loaches and strays) 60 gallon Planted, (tetras, cories, otos) 50 gallon brackish, (mollies, violet goby) 29 gallon brackish, (GSP) 7.9 gallon Fluval Flora, (betta)

Filtration?
That depends on what you would like in the long run, I myself would go with a deep sand bed around 4". Better bacterial growth. Live rock equal to tank size. Sump system not necessary. Protein skimmer beneficial (that will be you main filter system along with the DSB). You can use a hang on back filter they will work for the FOWLR tank.
Fish?
That Is a taste thing.
Salt mix?
Trial and error use what is best that matches you tap water. If you are using RO/DI then your choice will be the right one for you. that again will be what you want to do in the long run.
Most FOWLR always end up in a reef system because that coral will look awesome in the corner on that flat piece of rock
