As far as campaign recommendations, email each of the players the summaries you just posted and ask them to vote. I just started doing that and I'm surprised at how well it worked. You might want to add a couple or a few more options (maybe Action!).

For points, I'd say 200 minimum, maybe 300. Perhaps split the difference and go with 250? Look at the more reasonable Iconics in Basic and remember that these players are probably used to a little more "over the top" than you are.

Don't just limit the character building options, make templates! Templates are close enough to classes to give a sense of familiarity, plus they are modifiable! The last group of D&D converts I ran really liked that.

Unrelatedly, I am now recruiting new players.
