Pardon my ignorance on the topic, am I better off to go with one SA240 for each THT or one EP1500?

I would go with a pro amp. It will give you flexibility in future builds.

What is a pro amp?
Parts Express shows the EP1500 as discontinued and out of stock.

Is there a different type of amp that I might want to consider that would work for the entire speaker system including the subs or do they need their own dedicated amp?
I am currently not using any type of amp, just the Deonon AVR590 receiver.

This one seems to be readily available for around $150. Is it just as good as the EP1500?

Thanks again for the help everybody, you guys are pretty damn good! I found a EP1500 for $200 including shipping so I think I will go with that.

You can use a remote relay switch to turn the amp on when your receiver powers up or use a smart strip.

I'd go with plate amps (and did) unless you like turning your amps on and off by hand every time you use them, having potential ground loop issues, having noisy fans, balanced/unbalanced connector issues, possible low input voltage problems, etc.
I went with 2 LT.500's which are admittedly, overkill.

These are all valid points. Is there a down side to using plate amps other than the obvious having two instead of one? How noisy is the pro amp?
