Let me try then.
I'm inexperienced with both the MRG kernel and it's userspace software
but I'd like to try.

I can roll out Asterisk with FreePBX frontend (requires MySQL database
and dedicated Apache* - it would be preferrably a dedicated VPS for it)

*Dedicated Apache - because Asterisk, FreePBX and Apache run from the
same user account.

FreePBX is a web/graphical frontend to Asterisk so after initial
installation an inexperienced sysadmin can do all the remaining basic
stuff like adding new accounts and with minimal effort reconfigure the
system.

Public static IP address can save from many troubles if the system is to
be used all over the world.

I can roll it on the VPS on my own dedicated server but it's in the
middle of Russia so it's not the best choice latency wise.

ping ufaprom.ru
Anything over 150ms is bad if you don't want the conversation to be
skype'ish.

Locating the server outside of American jurisdiction (and it's stupid
patent system) would allow the royalty-free use of the most advanced
audio codecs (like G.729 - only 8kbit/s!).
