People have had months of uptime. I would be more concerned with the
reliability of your DSL/Cable reliability. You should also use a
Bandwidth calculator (like http://www.packetizer.com/iptel/bandcalc.html)
to figure out how much bandwidth you're going to need and compare that to
how much will be available.> Also, what make / model SIP phone do you recommended that would allow

Most do. I would reccomend Grandstream phones for your application,
because they're cheap, easy, and tested with Asterisk.
