Anytime a stove is in a fireplace a blower is recommended. Don't forget about having an electrical source nearby.
Also, depending on your home the outside air may not be necessary for the stove.
After running a flex liner for 3 years now, and seeing how easy it is to clean, I have no problems with using it over a solid liner unless the solid liner were to be used with a thermix or concrete blend around it to help secure a chimney that is not sound.

If you sit the stove out on the hearth so its only partially in the fireplace it should be ok. There are others who have done it.
Battleaxe took the same model stove I have and stuck it all the way in his fireplace and he said it worked fine.
You can set a fan blowing towards the stove if needed.

Will you be able to get a rigid liner through the smoke chamber/shelf area OK? Maybe this isn't an issue in your case. But an option is, if you want to stick with rigid, is using rigid until it bends then connect a small length of flex liner on the bottom of rigid allowing you to bend around the smoke shelf.
In the attached pic there is an example of this done with an oval 8" liner to get around the damper.

I have mine in a just under 26" tall opening. Lost 4 something inches from the pedestal, including ashpan and OAK box. Welded 4 small steel casters to the bottom of pedestal for cleaning,(blower and such). Extended wires (w/ electric stove wires) for the blower control and epoxied a quarter sized neodimium magnet to the back of said control to easily mount to side of pedestal. Warmest I've seen pedestal is 120 degree's. Cleaning involves lifting chimney cap and 16' liner through block-off plate from roof side to roll out stove. Also have air channel pieces that rest on the rear double wall and stick to the lintel with stronium cobalt magnets; really blows strong! Stove burns great like this and narry a problem, GREAT STOVE.
