My point: don't get a potentiometer that will just have enough rotation to work. It won't.

Agreed, plus you want to be able to sense your soft limits before you're right on top of them, which requires some extra room at either end of the range.
We've used 300 degree pots for about 250 degrees maximum range, with some breathing room.
