I want to get some schooling (shoaling, or whatever you want to call it) fish to finish off my 120 gal stocking. I think I'm getting some chromis because they're small, cheap, don't need to be fed multiple times per day, and aren't likely to jump out of my tank (if you know of another fish that fits that description, please tell me).

So, my current stocking list is:
2 clowns
Citron goby
Powder brown tang
Mandarin

It's a pretty light load for a 120, so how many chromis do you feel I can add?

Chromis will school when they are young, but generally it seems one will become dominant and pick off the rest.

Yeah, I hear it's hit or miss. Maybe I'll get threadfin cardinalfish, but I'm sure they're more expensive and not as available in packs of 5.

Glass/Threadfin Cardinals are fun and pretty cheap. Though I always think of Tetras when I see them. PJ cardinals is another option.
