... Now what are the recommendations on what kind of set up, 5.1 vs 6.1 vs 7.1? ...
This will depend on your room size and placement ... if you can post a sketch of your room to have a better idea it will help a lot

... I can no longer listen to the best buy geeks anymore. I was taking a look at the Intimus 532 Concert speaker set up and loved it, but i noticed that the center speaker isn't the usualy eongated one that I'm used to seeing. Is there a benefit from having a standard bookshelf speaker over the long center speaker?
Your best option is to find the information online, sometimes they don't know anything

About the vertical vs horizontal position of the center speakers, there is a discussion here about it.

I saw the specification of the Intimus 532 ... I suggest you to get speakers with a better response than 80Hz, usually most are from 40Hz/ 45Hz to 20Khz and specially the sensitivity, 88db is good but above 90db is better .... just my opinion

Oh, and Welcome to the forum
