Biners- wire gates are probably the best all around trad rack biner. Its all up in the air as to which kind, you'll hear a dozen different suggestions. Get a well respected brand name with an open gate strength of at least 8kn, 10kn is even better but a little more pricey usually.
Runners- Another depends who you ask, but I'd say go with 2' x 5/8ths nylon. Get a t least a couple of 4' ones too. Can't hardly beat these for the price and quality.

Cams- What you got listed is a good starting point, maybe a couple smaller ones. Ask others in areas where you climb which ones are needed the most.
Quadcams and tri cams_ Four lobe or three lobe cams. Three Cam Units place in smaller slots and can be a little trickier to place than the Four Cam Units. Go to different cam manufactuers sites and read all the different specs.
Stoppers- ABC's are plenty good enough. As usual this will get as many different answers as there are different kinds.
cord-o-let- Approximently 20' of 7mm perlon cord tied in a loop with a double fisherman's knot and used for building anchors, has other uses in a pinch.
daisy chain- Forget a daisy for now.
set of hex's- Depends, but yes I like them and use mostly the larger half of the set and prefer them wired.
*note* sets the drag on the reel and waits
