One thing I'm a little wary of is the back radiusing process. But that's a ways down the line so I will definitely be coming back here for advice at that point.

Also, I have heard of radiused sides...is that a standard practice? If so, what is the benefit (real or perceived), of doing it?
Hmmm....heard of backs, not sides. Unless you mean using the radius dish to sand the rim and provide the matching contour to the radiused back for when the box is closed up. The fellow I'm building with has the radius dish so I won't have make one, at least not for this initial build.
