1. What screen material do you folks recommend? I understand it comes in
aluminum, plastic, etc.. Durability, ease of installation?

2. What is the largest span the screen material can go between wood
members that it is attached/stapled to? A related question, I suppose,
would be how wide do they sell the stuff?

Any other pointers in porch design greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

you can buy vinyl or aluminum in 36" wide x 50' rolls at any hardware/
lumber yard for 10-15 bucks

For the best job, use Pet Screen (or the Lowe's brand, Pet-something),
and use Screen Tight strips, also sold at Lowe's. The materials will be
more expensive than regular, but you won't have to do a repair later
on.
