Just to comment on your ranges there, I'm really really not sure if having the bass section sing those Fs and the E(!) there near the end is such a good idea. I mean, same with the soprano singing in various parts a middle C.

That stuff isn't that recommendable unless you have a soloist choir, and even then it doesn't seem you had any real reasons for writing such extreme ranges. Same with the divisi in various parts, you have to write it as if it were 2 voices too (as you would counterpoint) rather than chord-like. But technicalities aside, a divisi in a choir thins out the voices so if you were intending to have it "fill up" the harmony you don't really need to do that unless your chords have more than 4 notes.
