Knowing not much about parts avaliability and replacement parts or upgrades and if they would fit or work right, I'm kinda lost at which brand to concentrate on. Schwinn, Huffy, and the 100's of others out there are very confusing to me.
Any help or advise would be appreciated.

It is a shame that you are not more aware of certain bikes and their history, as the best restorations often occur when there is some kind of emotional attachment the restorer has, to the bike being restored.
Maybe you can do a crash course on a number of brands and see if anything catches your imagination/inspiration.
