Different styles of interior doors?

I have a hallway that has 6 doors: 3 - 30 in bedroom doors, 1 - 28" bathroom door, 1 - 24" hall closet door and 1 - 18" hall closet door. We already replaced the bathroom door with this style a few months ago and are getting ready to do the others to match. I am concerned about the smaller doors though. For the 24", I wonder if it is going to look weird since those lower panels will look so narrow. It will also be the one you see the most because it is at the end of the hall, straight on. (A side note on the 24" door: the hallway is only 36" wide and this door can really be any size and I was going to go 26", but I think making it 24" will allow some wall to show on either side of the casing rather than the casing go all the way to the edges.). For the 18", I don't even know if you can get this style. I was thinking of getting the 18" one in this style and maybe the 24" one as well. What do you think we should do with the smaller two doors?

Spraying trim before installing

I am going to be getting all new baseboards and door and window casing and it seems like it would make things easy to spray them first then install. If I do that, I will just have the little nail holes to fill and caulk around the ages. Will I be able to touch these up without having to spray them, or will it be noticeable by using a brush or roller to touch them up? What is the technique for this? The good news is that I will be getting new carpet and painting the walls afterwards so I don't have to be too careful.

26" or 28" door for hall closet at end of hall?

I have an older house so it only has a 36" wide hall. There are 5 doors on either side of the hall (3 -30", 1-28" and 1 18 inch hall close) and now I am adding another small coat closet at the end of the hall (straight on if you are looking at the end of the hall). Since the hallway is only 36", do you think a 26" wide door would look better there than a 28"? My reasoning is that with the 28", by the time I put a 1x4 casing around it like the other doors have, it will almost go to the edges of that wall so I wonder if a 26" door will make the hallway look wider since there will be more space between the door casing and the edge of the wall. Also, there are 2 doors at the end of the hall on either side, so there will be 3 doors pretty close to each other (one straight on and one to either side) What do you guys think?

I look at posts asking for a painter recommendation and see people mentioning ones that cost $1k-$2k. Of course those are going to be better and if I were a professional painter, would get one of those. But I am just a typical DIYer who normally paints with brush and roller but wants to try a sprayer. Main thing will be to paint some interior doors, maybe trim, and eventually maybe a fence. From doing research, this seems to be a really good sprayer at this sub $400 price point. And I know I will need to practice first :) What are your thoughts?
