I'm getting ready to starting plumbing in a washer, and I went by Lowe's and saw the 2" 180 degree p-trap, but not sure what kind of 90 (short sweep, medium sweep, long sweep) to add to it to transition into the trap arm. I'm assuming it will be a street 90 as well?
 
The U shape will come with the proper bend, which is a street on one side. Look in the bin and find both parts. They sell the two parts as one unit.

Ahh, okay, that makes sense. Sometimes you have to really look at what you're buying in those bins because it's not always what it says it is.
 
One more question

Does a closet bend have to come immediately after a toilet flange, or could you install a length of straight pipe to bring the closet flange below the joists?
 
You can either use a "spigot" bend which connects directly to the flange, or a "hub" bend which has a section of pipe between it and the flange. As for the "P" trap, the elbow that comes with it is a "square turn" street elbow.
 
Let's say the joists are 12", could I use a coupler to attach a piece of pipe to the toilet flange to get me below the joists, then use a closet bend from there?
