Logical to use GS716T as top level switch in network ?
Yes, considering your list of switches it's the mos powerful.

Looking for configuration recommendations.
Smart Switches should also be able to use Auto VOIP VLAN, so yes you can separate that into a extra subnet.
Since the smart switches will (at maximum) support static routing, you'll at some point need separate a "router on a stick" for inter-vlan routing or shared internet access.
3 VLANs make sense if you need to separate the video stuff from the rest of the network.
