Nice! You may have found this out already, but of everything you listed, the GSP is most likely to be the barometer of water quality...I know mine is.
If it doesn't extend, or only partially extends, something is probably amiss with WC.
Only advice I'd give is to stay away from leather corals as there can be a weird occasional chemical warfare battles between them and SPS/LPS corals. Not that mixing can't be done, but it's just one more thing to have to worry about and occasionally deal with.

I agree with fin. If you are gonna go with leathers make sure you have a good skimmer. I've had a leather since it was a nun and is now the size of a dinner plate and I've seen some corals get real ticked as it grew closer to them.
Nice choices on corals though. Acans along with chalices can become rather addicting. If you get any chalices b sure to give them space. I have one that throws out 6" sweepers at night and almost wiped out a few favorites
