of those you linked i'd take these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Acoustic-...61?pt=Speakers_Subwoofers&hash=item5d3696a2c5

since they have the largest driver.

honestly though, don't expect much from that set. You would probably get better sound with just 2 high quality bookshelves for not much more. I'm assuming you want to keep the cost as low as possible?

and prefer white as the walls are white

You can always paint the grills and the surround of the speakers. Its very common to paint them, and very easy.

Monoprice, of course

The monoprice speakers actually have decent drivers in them, the ones you linked from eBay on the other hand have the smell of "white van" speakers and the reviews I've found while doing some googling are none too favorable.

 

[Durvelle27]

does the size speaker matter

 

[s44]

Not per se, though size helps with bass response (though none really will let you forego the subwoofer) and sometimes better sensitivity/power handling.

I'd personally use the 8" wall version just because it has the best sensitivity (91db). Get a second pair for the center (voice-matching), use the extra as a rear for 6.1. Side surrounds either a third pair or the 6.5" one.

i think i'll get the 6.5" ones since i'll be using 2 10" powered subs

Why ebay? Parts Express have a lot of these at good prices....
