Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

The one thing from your "skipping" list I would get is a set of cone wrenches. Most hubs need periodic overhauling and relubing and even new ones are often shipped a bit too tight and benefit from initial adjustement. Decent cone wrenches are relatively inexpensive. Avoid Park's double ended type and go for their black single size ones with the blue plastic dipped handles. The series is SCW-XX where XX is the size in mm. Get 13, 14, 15 and 17 to start.
