Two quick things:
1. Would it be a good idea to just use sprocket and chain instead of gearing? It IS cheaper...

2. What's the best motor selection/gearing selection process? I've tried working out the physics, and I have some guesses as to what will work, but I'm just not sure.

That is dependent on your reduction, a sprocket and chain reduction is great for a place where you have a small reduction (imho <10:1) and have to transmit power over a distance anyway.
