Fiber media converters

I'm looking to do an Ethernet extension over fiber. Distance about 1500'. This will be how we get Internet so bandwidth usage will probably not exceed 2Mbps. (It goes to a tower to receive from our WISP). And budget is definitely more important than buying something "enterprise" grade.

What connectors should I use (e.g. SC, ST)?
What wavelength fiber should I use (62.5, 125)?
How many spare fibers should I buy?

Any opinions on media converters? I took a quick stab and found a couple of lower-end units:
»www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec_v2.···=4772824
»www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec_v2.···=4716732

The far end will be solar powered so it would be nice to find something that ran on 24VDC.
