In the case of the FEL there are cylinders on each side so wouldn't one spool be working two cylinders at a time for the raise and lower and two for the curl/dump?

Those cylinders are in "parallel", so the valve see's them as one cylinder.

The forward and back could be used for raise and lower and the left and right for the flail shift cylinder. I would guess that is a pretty spendy valve however and a two spool valve with two handles would be much less expensi ve. Any other important tips on valves other than open center with at least 1/2" ports?

Here are two valves I would recommend for you:
Joystick Valve Two Handled Valve
So for $50 you can get the joystick if you want it. The main thing is to meet or exceed the
GPM requirement for your machine...so a 10
GPM rated valve is a good fit.
