I have never mudded and taped on ceilings before. I have only taped and mudded once actually (I am only 21 and did it helping my Dad). We don't want to put any texture on the ceiling, just have it smooth.
Well, below are some links that may help you out in the drywall department.

Recessed lighting cans do not really work well with CFL's. An incandenscent recessed bulb should be a spot light which directs the lighting downwards. There is a spot CFL on the market, though can't say how well it works. Using just a regular CFL or incandescent will not direct the beam downwards resulting in most of the light being lost inside the can.

Eyeball trims are for directing lighting to specific areas, like onto a wall to highlight a painting or for specific task lighting.
