Depends what theme you're going for. Also you got to keep in mind the bio-load and the time for tank maintenance.

No problem, sometimes it's overwhelming to pick what is best for the fish.

Amano shrimp can be kept with gourami but there is always the potential that the gourami may nip at them. If you have a 12 gallon honey gourami are small enough. Gourami like to have their own side of the tank most the time in my experience.

Sorry I didn't know what you have in your tank already. The honey gourami that I have are smaller (only 2"). They are sometimes called sunburst gourami. The larger gourami such as pearls or blue gourami have been slightly more aggressive in my experience.

If you give the amano enough cover they should be fine. Amano shrimp are slightly bigger than ghost shrimp so that gives them an advantage.
