...Just to be sure we're on the same page, when I refer to a ceiling mount I was thinking of using the SVS SBS-01 system and using the ceiling mounts that they show at this link. http://www.svsound.com/products-parts-bracket.cfm
If I were you, I look in the internet for more bracket options ... $75.00 for a pair seems to expensive for me ... there are some that are cheaper ... but I don't know about the quality. I got the Infinity TSS 750 system and the brackets were included.

I thought about the wall mounts but I didn't think I should be putting the speakers that close to the walls and I thought they might increase the noise transmission to other rooms. I'll only have one story so I'm not too worried about sound transfer through the attic.
My speakers are wall mounted, and I don't notice a lot of noise transmission ... except for the bass from subwoofers.

What about mounting the rear surrounds on the ceiling with the mounts from SVS? Then I don't have them in my limited side aisle space.How much space would I need to for reasonable audio performance? I'm still thinking of eliminating the middle armrests and having a couch with two cupholders. With that configuration and the Berkline 088s I would have 32" aisles instead of 18" aisles.
Here is a picture of my sorround speakers installation ....
