I have not really worked with the bats in the game though, so if I can be given a direct species it'd be a big help! ;)

Sangais don't live as north as Amur Tigers tho. You could have Sangai living next to a different tiger subspecies tho or have the Amur Tigers living next to an ungulate species actually from the Sikhote-Alin mountains of Southeastern Russia like Altai Wapiti.

Barbary pretty much gives that away hahaha, but Sangai Deer aren't from the region, either... Personally I'd do Altai Wapiti, but that's just me

Personally I'd use Mexican Free-Tailed bats, since it's the only species I know we have ingame that's from the same area of South America that Southern Long-Nosed Armadillos are native to: http://zt2downloadlibrary.wikia.com/wiki/Mexican_Free-tailed_Bat_(Whalebite)

Any tips for tropical aviary and reef tank combinations?
Depends for the tank, are you doing large fish (sharks, rays, groupers) or small fish (self explanatory)?

For the aviary, do you want a specific region or not? Your usual tropical species are ibises, a variety of waterfowl, Victoria crowned pigeons, turacos, toucans/aracaris/toucanets, and macaws.
For the tank, it would be a large one, housing rays and relatively small sharks (the largest possibility being Sandbar sharks).

The aviary wouldn't be region specific.

Would a Linnaeus's Two-Toed Sloth get along better in an enclosure with Brazilian Porcupines or Northern Tamanduas?

I agree with Slappio, that Mexican free-tail bats would be good, or perhaps you could try a Spectral bat. I wouldn't advise putting in any small mammals or reptiles, because spectral bats would eat them. But also, spectral bats require more of a tropical rainforest enclosure.
Spotted bats could also work.

For the tank, it would be a large one, housing rays and relatively small sharks (the largest possibility being Sandbar sharks).
In that case you could do something like Genoa's Madagascar lagoon. It's this one reef tank which is split in two sections, one with small fish and the other with the larger and more aggressive ones.
The latter has (or had) blacktip reef shark, some kind of bamboo shark (we don't have one, but you could just replace it with whitetip reef shark), baby zebra shark, zebra moray eel, humphead wrasse, large angelfish and tangs, mid-sized groupers (like panther grouper), snappers, carangidae, puffers, triggerfish, orbicular batfish and a sea turtle.
You could probably throw in a small stingray like a bue spotted ribbontail or the babies of another species if you have enough room.
Keep in mind that most of the bony fish are territorial, so you could keep one or two for each species at best.

I wouldn't personally combine them with the porcupines but tamanduas should work fine. :)

Cleveland does Coundou/Sloth, and London does Tamandua/Sloth... Both would work fine ;)

Thanks!! I'll probably combine them some days on exhibit or rotate them on exhibit depending on what day of the week it is.

Question: Could Black Lion Tamarins, Golden-Headed Tamarins, Golden Lion Tamarins, and Emporer Tamarins be combined? Or should I give them their own enclosures?

Umm...why would you put them together? Firstly there is a huge risk of fighting because tamarins are territorial, secondly there is a huge risk of hybridization because they all look so similar.
