Haha, yes, I really felt pretty stupid this morning when I realized you can't use a steerer tube mounted cable hanger when using canti's on suspension forks. :)
I choose the canti's as I really wanted the Ritchey Logic canti's. These are so iconic and were still used in 1996.
About the tires: skinwalls look best so I think I'll look for a set skinwalled Z Max WCS.

Just so everyone is on the same page, as @brucy suggests, the hanger needs to be isolated from the suspension and so mounted on the blue brace of the lowers rather than the crown.
Personally, I'm not a fan of the asethetics. There is a reason most sus forks run V brakes....
Edit: just seen most early sids were only drilled on the lower brace, so looks like you'll be fine. Still, are you going cantis cos that's what's in the parts bin?
Rest of it looks banging though. Lovely stuff.
