Default stone for wood stove hearth

We're putting a wood stove in our living room. My wife wants flagstones. According to the installation manual, three layers of DuRock have sufficient R-Value. So I plan on putting down the DuRock, and then having someone cover it with stone. The rest of the floor will be pre-finished bamboo.

Would it be best to put down the stone first and then the bamboo?

How to detail the bamboo to the stone? Carve each piece to the shape of the stone and then sanded caulk?

What would be a good way to transition between the stone and the drywall?

Are there any types of stone to avoid for this application?
