Diverters, Volume Controls, Thermostatic Valves!! Help!

i'm getting ready to start a bathroom remodel and want to plumb the shower stall for a standard shower head and an overhead (ceiling) mount rainshower.

basically i want to have the temperature controlled, i need to turn the water on and off (but don't need to adjust the volume - full "on" is fine), and i want to have either the shower head OR the rainshower on 1 at a time (not both at the same time).

what do i need for this install and what is the order of installation?

hot and cold supply go to "what" control first, second, and third?

does it matter what types of valves i purchase? kohler has some, but i'm not using kohler shower fixtures. can i just get generic valves from a plumbing supply store and use those?

thanks in advance for any advice.

Get a Delta 1700T thermostatic valve body. Wide range of trims and finishes available. Put a diverter valve after the mixer. Here is just one example of a multi-function diverter:http://www.deltafaucet.com/wps/portal/deltacom/kcxml/04_Sj9SPykssy0xPLMnMz0vM0Y_QjzKLd4439vIDSZnFW8aHOepHogtZIoR8PfJzU_WDgFKR5kAhy6AA_aic1PTE5Er9sLz8olygmcH63voB-gW5oRHlPqmOAOd17Cw!/delta/base64xml/L0lJSk03dWlDU1lKSkpKQSEvb013d0FBTVlnQUNFSVFoQ0VFSWhGS0lZd0EhIS80RkdnZFluS0owRlJvWGZyQ0c5VTNZUSEvN19DXzlSUC84OTEvc2Euc3BmX0FjdGlvbkxpc3RlbmVy?PC_7_C_9RP_spf_strutsAction=!2fviewProductDetail.do&PC_7_C_9RP_group=ShowerOnly&PC_7_C_9RP_collection=Lockwood&PC_7_C_9RP_pid=R11600&PC_7_C_9RP_area=Bath&PC_7_C_9RP_function=TubShower&PC_7_C_9RP_task=DfcProductDetail#7_C_9RP

That link to the delta site just gives a general home page for their in2ition shower heads. A search for model 1700T on the delta site yields nothing either.
