If you’re willing to buy online, you should be able to find something that meets your criteria
What site would you recommend buying plecos from? The only thing I worry about ordering online is the pleco coming dead or looking different from the website photo
 
Check out the leopard cactus plec, L114 .
Or Hypostomus Weberi L167. In fact check out planetcatfish.com as there will be a number of more suitable options, depending of course on availability in your area.
Although there is nothing wrong with bristlenose, check out ancistrus sp wabenmuster the honeycomb bristlenose.
After browsing through planet catfish I found a few plecos I like

Planet Catfish says the maximum length of a rhino pleco is about 10 inches. Is there any truth to that? since the Rhino pleco is in the same genus as P. Gibbiceps which you said grew over 2 ft in length. And if they do max at 10 inches would it still be to big and produce too much waste?
 
Sometimes bottom dwellers will fight for turf because they're in the same tank space. With enough room and hides/branches it MIGHT work but it would depend on how territorial the species are.
