Since it's shounen, it will definitely be longer than 26 episodes.
They can probably stop it after the Tower of Paradise arc, which will probably be after 50 episodes, and that will be as good a place as any, with only one problem - Natsu's past will never be revealed. I don't like it when they introduce a story point and never address it, especially a major one like that, so I would prefer the show to be continuous. We don't know how long the manga will be, but if it doesn't go above 300 chapters, it can probably be finished in one 150-episode anime without many fillers.
As for VA, I already made some suggestions in the manga thread. Here they are:
Natsu: Mayumi Tanaka - can't imagine anyone else
Lucy: Fumiko Orikasa - cute and sometimes bossy, just like Lucy
Gray: Tomokazu Seki - youthful and manly at the same time
Erza: Marina Inoue - strong and kind at the same time
Gazille: Kazuya Nakai - pretty badass and manly
Loki: Hiroaki Hirata - very smooth voice for a player
Happy: Ikue Ohtani - cute and funny
Gerard: Miyano Mamoru - fit for an evil genius
Can't think of anyone else at this point...
