Seems to me that given your lack of experience with mounting and editing, etc you need to find someone to give you hands-on help.

I would flush mount everything on gator board or foam core with no mats or frames and sized to suite each image. I would go for the largest sizes you can manage. AZ Build a Lookaround!
