Looking for some recommendations...
Maybe you guys can help me out, since I feel like I'm kind of stabbing blindly in the dark in my bra search. Do you know any bras that have narrow wires and that have good projection/depth at the bottom and in the center (near the gore) of the cup? I am also full on top (or even? Not sure?) so there's that. :\

I have the same needs and the closest I've found is Cleo Lily Balconnet Bra (7351) and some Ewa Michalaks. I know sayitifyoumeanit raves about Kris Line's semi soft styles. I also have an unlined Bravissimo balconette that's not particularly narrow (at least not for my boobs), but it does have good lower depth.
I do indeed favor the semi soft kris line bras, with the condition that I remove the elastic from under the lace to open the top of the cup to better suit upper fullness. (Very easy if you have a seam ripper and a pair of scissors).
I also do alright in bravissimo balconettes if I narrow the gore, and unlined freyas with the same condition of narrowing the gore (and bending the wires). They're not perfect, but workable.
If you're in the size range, the Just Peachy stretch lace balconette isn't bad (I removed the elastic on that one, too). I'm just barely sized out, but my sister size is not too bad a fit.
And, I'm doing alright in my comexim experiments (surprisingly well, actually), but suspect I might do better with a raised gore.
For the moment the semi-soft kris lines are definitely my best fits, though. The lace up top helps keep me from falling out the middle as I'm prone to.
Further experimentation pending. I have my last try at Cleo Marcie on the way. Keeping my expectations low, but if any Cleo is going to fit me, that's the one.
