one of the smaller plecos would be fine for a 46g.
for the neons, it depends on how frequently you want to do pwc's. but for the regular once-a-week pwc's, i'd go for a school of 15 or less. i'd have had 20+, but then i'd have heavily planted the tank too. but understocking is always better than overstocking.

neons have a very low bioload. If you only want neons and plecos then go for a pleco that stays between 3-6" and then you could get like 30 neons if you keep up with your water changes.

remember not to make your tank look like a a feeder fish tank, and that the neons should have enough swimming space of their own.

I agree. If you opt for the BN pleco types, that are no larger than 6" or so, then you could feasibly keep a couple. I would go for a school of 20 neons.

also before you get all excited about a huge school of neons, unless larger fish are present, the neons will drift off, and not school.
larger fish keep them in line
