You're off to a good start.
The zipties on the sensor on my Fuji have been in place for 12,679 miles. If you get them tight, they should hold up well. The one on my other bike is held on by rubber O-rings, and it has held for a little over 10,000 miles with no problems.
Get some experience with the stuff you have now. That will tell you what you want/need when it comes time to replace things.
If you're going to ride after dark, get a tail light or two. The Planet Bike Super Flash is a good place to start, and they're not too expensive. You might want to consider a hi-vis jacket or vest for night rides as well.
Good luck with the new bike.
