UPDATE:
ORDERED:
Atleast Home Depot doesn't beat around the bush.  These are full inset hinges!

As jbarnatt said Ikea was a win for me for hinges.  They had bags of 3 pairs of hinges for $0.99.


That's a boat load cheaper than any hinges i've seen elsewhere.

I went with gaps that will be just under 1/8".  Like 1/32" less.  So, the gap on each side is about 3/32".  Maybe a bit more.

Anyways, one I had the hinges in hand and played with them a bit, I could easily see how these work.  So, the door has the holes in it and it is now ready for stain/poly.

Thanks all!
