345mm length for 300mm print area sounds about right. You can make the bed as large as you like as long as it doesn't hit the belts. Enclosing the printer is harder when the build plate extends past the horizontals.
I'd turn your printer upside down as it makes wiring and maintenance a lot simpler.
A non-fake Fotec SSR makes using mains electricity safe. I'm using a Keenova 300mm 120v 500w heater. Warm up to 115C takes about 5 minutes (build plate is 8mm).

I personally have no problem working with mains voltage, but I do want to keep this all 12V. Also, as I am only going to print PLA with this Delta, it seems silly to have a super high powered heated bed. (I am not sure what in my Ormerod,I think it's a MK2, but the heat times are only a few minutes for 65 degrees)

Why not 24V? If you will be using 0.9deg stepper motors for the towers, you should definitely use 24V power.
