I agree. Get the set up you actually want even before ordering any chickens. It's easy to say "I'll get around to a better _____ next month" and still have the darn thing a few years later. Do it right the first time; you won't regret it!

I agree with this, use hardware cloth anywhere there are gaps in the stall. That and a big secure run and you should be fine. Having the stall as a coop should allow for a lot of ventilation too (assuming the barn is fairly good sized), which is nice with that many chickens.
I'm all about using what you have, and working on a tight budget!
