Even with no neighbors it's a good idea. Who knows if you have a pipe start leaking or something and need a plumber or your new girlfriend stops by, better safe than sorry. They don't need much maintenance.

Phresh filters are great. Lightweight and good flow. An 8 inch is overkill for your room in my opinion but your fan can always be put on a speed controller if it's too much.
Venting to the attic is not generally recommended due to the moisture that goes with the air which then condenses in the attic and causes mold. Best to invest in a few feet of ducting. I like the insulated ducting because it seems to help deaden sound.

2 zips each is definitely within the realm of possibilities. Maybe think about some CFL or LED side lighting for the shadowy areas under the upper canopy. Also, I'd probably stagger the germination times so you don't have 6 mature plants at one time. That room could get pretty crowded if you dont. Maybe 2 every 3 weeks? That would keep a relatively perpetual crop without making your space overly crowded.
