Doubles... yes, helpful but not needed. Triples, no.
sizes .5 - #2 (maybe #3) camalots are useful to have doubles of.
I also carry tricams and C3s (#0-#2) with me.
On the occasion a #4 or #5 camalot comes in handy.
Unless you are on "Fear of Flying" where about 4 or 5 #4/5 Big bros comes in handy... or 2x4s.

for the most part a set of doubles is overkill. There are select climbs that take more than doubles however. for example if you do the bolted one without the bolt your looking at 3-4 pieces of the same size, i wont say which. Tri cams are usefull but ive climbed there for 2 years now and dont own any. If you like the wide and dirty than a #4-6 are good to have as well as big bro's. Other than that, the normal set of nuts and micro's, single set of cams up to #3, with doubles on finger to hand size will suffice almost every single climb there.

What about placements?? Lots of vertical or horizonal placements in fingers to hands

depends. solution pockets, flared horizontals and vertical irregular cracks are the name of the game
I can think of very few lines that even come close to being a parallel sided crack. Its a crapshoot of placement variety

I know there are a few mixed routes, where you can throw a piece in cool pockets, thats always fun.
