I plan on setting up a wireless speaker system to my TV in my living room with a beam and a sub, but should I get two Play One’s or two Play: 5’s for the best 5.1 effect? I know the website sells a 5.1 set with the two Play One’s, but is there a reason it is not advertised with the Play: 5’s?

With the Sub, Play:5s are overkill.
The simple fact is, given the amount of data sent to "surround" speakers in a 5.1 setup, PLAY:1 or Sonos Ones are more than sufficient. Now, if you're going to be playing a lot of music in the "Full" mode that Sonos provides, that might change the equation slightly.
