For what your team specifically needs as far as ratios and motors, I would suggest you use JVN's Mechanical Design Calculator (most updated here: https://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/3188). If you download the most recent file, it will give you an excel spreadsheet with many different tabs. I would suggest using the "linear mechanism" tab to find out exactly what the best solution is for your specific team.
