If I were to use the honda shims, do I need both inner and the outer or both inner without outter, or one inner and one outer depending on the fit of all the parts?

You have to use the shims as specified by the factory in the shop manual.
The fronts often have two inners and one outer, whereas the rears just have one on both sides.
If the aftermarket pads are too thick for all the shims, put what you can on (with the correct grease). If no shims will fit, you'll have to use brake quiet and hope for the best.
Always use OEM parts.
