Denon 5200 5.2.4 Confusion

Hi,
I was having difficulty finding this via search, so pardon me if it's redundant.

I read the Denon AVR 5200 review and it mentioned Atmos setup confusion. Bow howdy. The thing is driving me up the wall.

My setup:
Denon 5200
1 Definitive 8060-c (center)
2 Definitive 8060 STs (front L and R w/ LFE hooked up for subs)
2 Definitive A60s (front L and R, upfiring)
2 Pioneer Elite SP-EBS73-LR (surround L, R and rear surround uofiring L, R)

I just want to properly connect these speakers and enjoy a 5.2.4 Atmos setup.

My questions:

1. Which speaker terminals on the 5200 do I actually use for each speaker? They are confusingly labelled and the manual is a disaster.

2. In setup, do I choose a particular preset like 9.1 (per the review) or has firmware corrected that now?

3. Do I actually need another 2 channel preamp to drive a set of these like the upfiring portion of the rears? When I use Audyssey to setup and it tests those it sounds like it's switching.

Thanks so much.
