Krell iBias or Mark Levinson 533/535H series amplifiers with Aerial Acoustics Speakers?
My Datasat amp and my ATI signature amp sound pretty much identical. They are basically the same amp except for the Datasat having a cooling fan and some additional connections to match their Pre/Pros. If looks are important the datasat wins hands...

Matching integrated amps for Aerial Acoustics 5T
Mike Kelly of Aerial is the NA distributor for Gato electronics. I would say that he would endorse a Gato integrated with the 5t's.

Shipping speakers internationaly
My only advice, based on experience, is don't do it unless they are shipped in the factory box with factory packaging.

Buying a pair Aerial 10T speakers in 2016....Yea or Nay???
