Considering the liquid you are boiling your hops in will have only a small amount of sugar in it, i'd recommend putting some LDME in with the boil.This'll help the will utilise the hops in your wort more effectively.As for how much, they say a boil of a gravity around the 1.040 mark is ideal...so that roughly equates to 500g of LDME in 4-5L of water. You can, of course, double (or triple, etc) the size of your boil if you like, so long as the ratio of malt to water is pretty similiar.Since you brought up the topic of sparging, you could even sparge your grain with warm (70-80 degree) water until you reach your volume, to really extract as much of the flavour and sugar from the grain as possible.Besides that, it sounds good.
