The brackets look good. I'm interested to see what your results are; you're starting with a pretty rough underbody!
I like your idea of the ductwork - metal (24 gauge I think). Would be pretty durable for your jeep stuff, but light and easy enough to work with. I quoted it out at local heating and air conditioning shops at ~1/square foot. Depending on how my coroplast holds up, it may get replaced with that stuff. As for right now, and during testing, I'm glad to be using free material with $10 in duct tape, $10 in screws/washers, and $10 in spray paint.
