From a motor perspective for long travels, I'd skip the 1/2-10 single start acme and goto 1/2-10 2 start. You get twice the travel rate for the same rpm and efficiency improves. Steppers loose power as they go up in rpm. You spend a few more bucks in the mechanical, but will easily save in the motor and electronics to match the performance.
