Building a K2, have ?'s

I'm building a bike based on this:

1 A&B) Since it has V-brake mounts on the rear, can I mount any V-brake? I was eyeballing the Shimano M-960 but it's intended use is MTB. Or do I have to buy a BMX specific V-brake?

2) Can I use a MTB stem? I have a 120mm Kalloy stem. I'm 6'0" tall, thus need the room.

3) I need a laid back seat post...got any suggestions?

4 A&B) Cranks...are fine or course or square spindles best? Being 200lbs...do I need a titanium spindle?

5) Are Redline Forklifter handlebars any good?

6) Are NoMor Flats foam tubes any good?

Thanks in advance for any answers...
