You really don't need anything special. I would suggest 4 off camera flashes and a trigger. You really only need 1 off camera flash to be controlled by a trigger. Just make sure you buy at least one flash that has a transceiver built in so you don't need to have a separate receiver which can be a pain. Most flashes have the ability to be optically triggered so as long as you can get 1 to go off, the others will triggered optically. I used a few yongnuo 600ex-rt's and a couple of Yongnuo 460 flashes for a few years. I used one of the 600's on camera just as a trigger and the other two as OCF combined with the 460's that were optically triggered. The 460's are about as cheap of a flash as you can possibly buy and they worked perfectly fine.
You shouldn't worry too much about recycle time as you will be shooting at low power 1/32- 1/16. Having lithium ion batteries is nice so you don't need to worry about multiple AA's.
