2/ what sub-woofer I would need If the above is a viable option.
3/ What stands would I need for optimum performance.

Hello,
In a 5.1 configuration the three main speakers should be identical but surround speakers can be one or two model numbers smaller, for example in your case, 8030A or 8020B.
2/ what sub-woofer I would need If the above is a viable option.

Suitable subwoofer for your system is 7070A or 2x7060B.
3/ What stands would I need for optimum performance.
