Congrats on your strong scholastic performance thus far! A gap year won't hurt you at all (I had a few yrs off before starting)

I'd say apply top heavy (make sure that there are 3-5 PIs doing research you find interesting at each school) + your state's schools (15-25 should suffice).
 
thanks for the advice, I guess I'm worried that my research experience isn't as long in duration as other applicants so I'm not sure if I'd be competitive for top tier schools
 
In this path more research experience is always helpful but you have the minimum amount of research (IMO) to show an adcom that you have had sustained research exposure and would be 'ready' to take on the challenge of a doctoral degree.
