I would focus on just a few of those species. That would be too many fish, a lot of them not necessarily compatible either.

If it was me, I'd go with one oscar and a group of SD--myleus types would work well. Any smaller types would eventually be made a meal. Then an active predatory cat like a vulture or bolt cat.
If you're looking for a tough fish to keep with an Oscar, I always recommend Convicts. Those little terrors can survive living with anything.
96"x24" footprint? I would think so. Once it got large, you'd probably want to keep your scaping minimal to give plenty of swimming space.
Alternatively, you could try a few of the medium sized pims like pimelodus ornatus or blochii. Just make sure they are decent sized when you get them because the oscar will grow quick and any pim under 8" is potential lunch for a big o.
Ok, time for an update! Long story short, I now got an Asian Arowana (wanted one for 10 years 
)
The stocking right now are:
18" Asian Arowana
8" Severum
5" Oscar
3" Blue Acara
3" Electric blue Jack Dempsey
2 FX6 for filtration
So far so good!
