I think you've got a nice array of products there. Not knowing what types of specific paint problems that you may have, you've kind of covered the entire spectrum from very light (#9) to moderate (#80). Up to moderate is about as much as the PC will handle.
Additionally, you have some very good maintenance products (UQD) and some good safety tools (grit guards X 2 (two bucket wash)).
If it were mine, I'd tag in one more finishing pad (dedicate one to NXT and the other to #26). Also, maybe consider a backup polishing pad in addition to the two you have on your slate.
#9 to #82, I'd go with #9. That may not be a popular answer but, to a certain degree, I see little problem with concealing some problems (as #9 will conceal more than it removes). #82 tends to gum up a bit quicker than #80 and thus, I find it to be a tad more difficult to work with in a drier environment because you can't work the product nearly as long.
There are a lot of very good products there. You'll enjoy using them and I think you'll reap the rewards from using them correctly. There are also oodles of other great products out there on the market so, once you've had a chance to really get the ball rolling here, give an honest assessment to the products that you found very easy to use and the ones that you didn't find as much of a use for when you are detailing. Push those individual products back one notch and look for something to raise the bar on them.
Opinions are opinions and, as such, everyone will have differences in them. Personally, I've always had very good luck with Meguiar's products - for the most part. They certainly make some products that are absolute DUDS - every manufacturer does.
The key is to find products that you like, that yield the results that you demand, that are as easy to use as possible, and use them frequently.
