My question is, can the two GFI's be 15-amp rated GFI receptacles, or do
they have to be 20-amp rated GFI's?

I am thinking that the GFI's and the remaining receptacles can all be 15-amp
rated receptacles, but I wanted to check here in case I am wrong about that.

Two 20 amp circuits is over kill iif you only have enough counter
space for 6 outlets mho. But you are correct, you can place multiple
15 amp receps on a 20 amp circuit.
