That sounds good. I would just use the best quality products you can afford within your budget. For the bottom portion to close in the railing, I would paint, rather than stain. Stain looks great, but fades quickly and depending on the wood, climate, the sealing agent can peel and flake and become unsightly. Easier (in my opinion), to deal with a painted surface.
We used heavy screen panels and security doors to make our back porch/patio kitty friendly (coyotes in our area)... and we keep the litter box out there under a bench.... the kitties come an go thru a window.
Is there a roof on the porch? Are there balusters on the railing? If there is no roof, how will you screen it in? Even with a roof you will need to make framing to attach the screens to. And you will have to construct the screens And you will have to close in the balusters/railing or remove them and build a small wall. It sounds like you may need a professional to do the work. We had this done last summer and it involved a number of people and a large expense. And it is only a screened in roofed porch.

Lattice panels are a good choice. You can get them in wood or vinyl.
Do you want to turn it into a sunroom?

Do you mean screen or close it in with windows and walls?
