I just finished building a HT oven only slightly bigger than what your talking about( 4.5x6x15.5). I used 16 gauge kanthal a1 and am thinking I should have probably used a bit bigger, maybe 14 gauge.
I bought my controller on Amazon its an apgtek I believe, it shipped from here in the states but if you go that route don't get the SSR with it as it shipped separate FROM CHINA. I got one faster from jamcoe. Auber has SSRs that would be suitable also. Wireing diagram is with the controller, I didn't use any thing else but could probably draw one up if you need it.

I got my element wire on eBay, wound the element on a 1/4 inch rod chucked in my cordless dril .
Look for HT oven seal in the newbe arena that is my post and there are a few pictures on there , or you should be able to view my profile I have a HT kiln album on there.
Hope this helps. Sam
