For all of the fonts, I would suggest serif fonts like Times, Georgia, Palatino, Californian, Centaur, Cambria, Perpetua............ I know they're not the prettiest of fonts, but sometimes you need something simple to balance out the other stuff (as in the second banner), and also you don't want your credit to take away from the overall graphic, so it's best to make it unobtrusive in both positioning and font choice. That said, I think you should move the credit to the very bottom right corner (just a couple of pixels off the bottom and right edges), and make the font smaller (but still readable).

As for the empty space, it's really up to you. It seems like you have some kind of grunge/aged look going on, so maybe follow through with that? I'm sorry, I'm really not good at these style of graphics. >_<
