Assuming you want to have Layer 3 all the way to your remote sites I'd extend area 0 all the way there. No sense creating other areas unless you really have to. The SUP720, RSP720, Sup6, etc. are pretty good and solid stuff cpu wise.
If you're going to be 500 prefixes in your igp with that amount of devices you should carry all non-infra routes in ibgp just for the sake of expansion but there's nothing wrong with just having ospf around too. Expected amount of prefixes, purpose of the network, redundancy (like do your remotes have two legs or not), are you looking at infrastructure or end to end convergence, etc. would help.
