If you are adding objects manually, start with the Extended Hipparcos dataset
XHIP.

Also, Vizier is truncating all of my searches to 50 stars, and I can't figure out how to get a full list.

There is a sidebar on the left with an "preferences" box in it that ought to let you do useful things like set the number of results returned, sort the returns, specify format etc. You can also get it to calculate some values for you, but sadly not spectral type.

I didn't list it above, but I sort of assumed any catalogue would have stellar class, luminosity, and magnitude, all of which I want as well.

Special-purpose astronomical catalogues can be startlingly single-minded. That's what makes XHIP so lovely.
