In case you haven't already, it would be very beneficial for you to spend some time with the STP Planning Guide - SG24-7280 from RedBooks:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247280.html Also, the STP Implementation Guide - SG24-7281 redbook has explicit examples of how to configure STP depending on your starting point. http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247281.html You should look at these before attempting your initial setup, I think they will be very helpful.
