Anyone recommend a company to rent a miner for this?
Betarigs
Try MiningRigRentals, here's my referral link (please and thank you!!) : http://www.miningrigrentals.com/register?ref=1867
BetaRigs is good but you have to send a new BTC transaction each time you want to rent..
On Mining Rig Rentals you just do one deposit for whatever amount of BTC you want and then you use that to instant-buy the rig you want
highly recommend it mate.cheers

Never rented before, it keeps showing the payout in BTC. Do I have to receive it in BTC and then hit the exchange or can I be paid directly in XST?
No, you do not receive payout in BTC. You receive payouts from the pools at which you point the rented miners towards (i.e. if you want to mine StealthCoin at v2.dedicatedpool then you will receive XST from dedicated pool, sent to your XST address that you gave the pool, like normal.)
They make it very convenient, and it works like this:
1) Make an account, then fund your account by sending the amount of BTC you wish to spend on rentals to your personal BTC address on MiningRigRentals (click the BTC symbol in the upper right corner to view your deposit address).
2) The BTC you sent will quickly become available to you, and you can then browse through their large options of rental rig to find the size and price that fits your needs.
3) Select your desired rig, choose how many hours you wish to rent it for, then click the "Pay Instantly" button, which activates the rig you just rented.
4) Now, enter in the pools + your workername and password (worker.rent1 pass: x)
5) Now you are mining!!! Congrats!!!
