Default Screen Recommendations for a 2 Projector setup ... ?

Hi everyone .. So I've decided on a 2-projector setup for my new Home Theater room in the basement of my new house ..

The two projectors are JVC RS-46 (for 2D Movies & TV Shows) and Optoma HD131Xe (for 3D Movies & Gaming) ...


Projection Constraints:

Screen: 120" diagonal, 16:9 Ratio
Projectors' Throw Distance: Somewhere between 16 feet & 18 feet most probably


Points to consider:

1) 80% ~ 90% of all my content will be 2D movies & TV shows ( = JVC RS-46 Projector), so the screen has to favor the RS-46 a lot here, since 80% ~ 90% of the times, that's the projector I'll be using.

2) Although numerous people have said that a JVC RS-46 will produce a sufficiently bright 2D picture at my used throw distance, I think it's still fairly recommended to still improve the brightness of RS-46's output, if an even better experience is desired.

3) Do note though, that my second projector already outputs a very bright picture by default, so it's preferable to probably use a screen which will also work well with an already bright input. This might not be a very big issue though, since half the usage for the Optoma projector will be for 3D.

Projector Placement options:

I can use either of the two layouts used below. First option is preferred, but my priority is picture quality here above all.

Ceiling Mounted:

In both pictures below, the throw distance depicted is 16.5 feet.



Floor Standing (inside a back concieled shelf):

So please recommend me a screen which will work well for my setup
