I need some advice since I am building my first custom keyboard.

Usually 20 to 30 unless you buy the expensive shipping then it's a few days.

Work with a red 60 percent aluminum case, like a Tofu? If not, can you list a red aluminum or even plastic 60 percent RED case and plate that would be compatible? Also, which one of the PCBs do you believe is better?
The first is the exact same PCB that I posted before, the one that we weren't sure about the programing on. The second has a non standard layout, so you add an extra layer of challenge in finding key caps that will fit every key.
Both will fit a tofu or pretty much any 60% tray mount.
Here's an alternative, but I'd personally get a tofu over this one. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32850797157.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.59bb4491AuaMHf&algo_pvid=00d5eae4-41a9-4fc4-ab31-1ec6d4c8d696&algo_expid=00d5eae4-41a9-4fc4-ab31-1ec6d4c8d696-0&btsid=0be3769015835938169347883e9c82&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

Thank you for being patient. These 3 things are my final questions. Once you respond I will give you the "Mark as Solved"
I would say 95%+ of plates should fix a standard layout 60%. But if you go with a non standard all bets arr off, although PCB's product page often recommend a compatible plate.
