The flow of water is not extremely important but you do want it to drip and you do not want a huge current going down the wall. I had talked to the store were I got my pump I told them that I wanted it to drip and that it was about 3 feet tall and 6 feet long. They picked out a small pump that had an adjustable rate on it so I can make it more or less powerful. You can do this with most pumps by adding a Y piece and a on and off valve. I would just make sure the pump is atleast powerful enough to get the water to the highest point. As for the capilary mat here is the place I got mine from.

Also I found that silicon does not work near as well as roofing cement used on rubber lined roofs. It is made to stick to rubber roofs and it is extremely tough and usually the same price. For larger projectes I recommend using treated wood to hold the capilary matting up at the top and on the sides. A little glue on the nail and wood will help prevent a leak. But for a larger project keeping a lot of plants stable up their needs a bit more support.
