KMG Power source?

KMG 10 is ordered now waiting on shipping, now to find the motor I wish to use. I found a Leeson TEFC 2 horse 110/220 single phase for $125 (he'd take less) with a 7/8ths shaft (I think didn't write down the model number) I just ordered the 3/4 drivestep pulley for the grinder and'll use a standard pulley on one of my random 1hp motors. But I can run it until I find a motor off of my pillow block assembly.

My question is what horsepower rating should I go with?

Rob sells Leeson motors on his site, but the one I found in a shop isn't on the site. If I do buy a new motor wha brand should I go with? Leeson, Baldor, GE?

What shaft size should I find? 5/8ths or 3/4?

and my final most trivial question is what type of stand should I build for it?
