Welcome back, I just got back in myself. The good news is the hobby has improved by leaps and bounds since I was gone. I went with Brightwell Xport, some people report it disintegrating on them but I haven't had any problems. For me being able to remove the bio filtration to siphon out detritus was what led me to that choice.

Hi Zack and Welcome Back! Glad you joined.
Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself.

Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

Hello Zack, Welcome to R2R!! 
I would suggest to post your questions in lighting, coral discussion, and equipment and hardware for a more defined answers.
Most upper end LED are a good choice for deep tanks. I just replaced my AI hydra 26hd's because I was looking for more spectrum and power in the new lights. I would suggest looking at the Hydra Hd'd light, or the new Radions, or GHL Mitras.
In regard to a sump, and sump will do, just look for the space for your equipment. Like you skimmer, heater, return pump, reactor pump, filtration, and if you are going with a chamber for a chito.
