People have had months of uptime.  I would be more concerned with the
reliability of your DSL/Cable reliability.  You should also use a
Bandwidth calculator (like http://www.packetizer.com/iptel/bandcalc.html)
to figure out how much bandwidth you're going to need and compare that to
how much will be available.

Most do.  I would reccomend Grandstream phones for your application,
because they're cheap, easy, and tested with Asterisk.
