Of the ones you link to I would do either the Epson 6100 or the Benq W2000. The Epson is likely to have a punchier picture. The Benq will have better blacks and more accurate color. The Benq is DLP which has a color wheel. This can produce the "rainbow effect" that some people are sensitive to. The Benq is a relatively short throw projector so you may not be able to place where it will need to go in your room. Check the throw distance calculator for each projector to make sure that you can place it correctly.
Unless you plan to leave the screen down most of the time the electric screen will be much more convenient.

I would go for the BenQ 2000 plus. You may also check the Optoma UHD300X

For screen, This one is my all-time favorite: Visual Apex Projector Screen. You can check the screen's review at Bestolin. It is ranked 1 there. A lot of people recommend that too.
