If the wiring is protected as it appears then the TYPC MC can still be used. SOOW is overkill IMO and then the armored would take care of any movement issues you might have. It'll also be easier to route and install. Also, you mentioned liquidtight conduit?? Is that feeder to the J-boxes? You should not run any bundled cable within conduit. Only individual circuit wires.
If the height wasn't an issue, I'd be screwing the fixtures directly onto the joists cross ways instead of parallel between the joists but, I understand you wanting to maximize the overhead clearance.

The area isnt dry. Electrician said it needed to be treated as wet.
Conduit is to boxes. Soow is whips from boxes to fixtures.
Youre probably right about the chain. Sounds pretty easy now as i sit by the fireplace…. eh… i guess ill learn the hard way.
