The only thing I can suggest is start off easy with the hops, if you put it in too thickly you'll get tired of your beer very quickly.
I've really only brewed a few times. There's a local brewer that lets you use their facilities to make a custom batch. Unfortunately the batch size is about 14 gallons - I've still got a few cases from last June that I'm still working on
Something I'd like to try next time is a beer that features orange rind and cloves. Either that or some type of rye based beer.

22 oz bottles are easier than 12 oz bottles and it's better for a home supply too. Just crack a bottle and keep it in the fridge for whenever you're thirsty.
As far as bottling goes I think the only way you can make it not be a pain in the ass is to get one of those $150+ countertop bottlecap presses. How much do you like beer?
