These are the voltages preferred by most people.

Most certainly not! The 5KV might be a challenge to use, but the others,
especially the 9KV ones are fine.

The 4" PVC should do a good job for the 9KV trannies, better if you were
to put them in parallel to increase the current output. What are their
ratings?
Are these

The 8" PVC would probably be better driven either by a large bank of NSTs
or a small piggy.
