Sand with lot of live rock for aquascape.
hang on filter
LED (my preference but either work)

with a 112 gallon tank I would definitely go with a sump and viparspectra lights.
I actually like using aragonite from Caribsea as my substrate. Been using it for awhile now and have not have any issues. I'm sure your going to get a lot of answers. But remember, it's all opinion.

My preference is using Pink Figi sand (not really pink) as a deep sand bed.
I agree with HeathS as far as a sump goes. That way you can put most if not all of your equipment (heaters, skimmer, etc) in the sump leaving your tank uncluttered.

I always prefer to using Sand instead of stone in 112-g tank. and more thing always use LED LIGHTING.

You may already have your filtration set by now. I have hang on back with Marinelands 350 with Bio wheels. I also have a Fuval 407 canister. I did add two extra filter inserts on the Marineland with Seachem bio filter media. You will never ever need to change out. All my chemistry is always at “0”.
