You should be able to do a normal install with 16 GB. (Though you can use 
a lot more than that if you install enough packages.)

That shouldn't matter for booting. The device should be known by its UUID. 
(The install process will set that up as a kernel parameter. You shouldn't 
have to do anything special for that.)

There might be some machines that will boot off the device with a FAT 
file system, but not with other file systems. But I suspect that would be 
limited to older machines.
