I usually advise to use open-source WiX Toolset, which is the most legitimate in relation to MSBuild and Visual Studio, and is generally a very good product, much better than deprecated and removed from the bundle Visual Studio Setup project template. Please see my past answers:
Custom setup project[^],
installshield and Visual Studio 2012[^].

As to the SQL Server product, you can bundle it with installation, but much better approach, in most cases, would be just to claim it as prerequisite. One thing is: main project is commercial, and all versions are proprietary. Your users may already have a license for some other (commercial) versions of the product, so you would not want to force them into installing yours. This is just one of the reasons. You decide though.
