If this was me, I would take my 18*DI (5W), 5I, 8I and SW.

Make sure the clubs you pick are clubs you feel extremely confident with and you know the distances to the exact yardage.

A quick rule of thumb, every inch you choke down you change 1 club length. For example, if you choke down an inch on your 8I, it should now hit the same distance as your 9I.

Also, if you move the ball forward and backward in your stance, you can change trajectories and distances as well. For example, if you move the ball 2 ball widths back in your stance and hit your 8I, it should have the same ball flight and distance as your 7I.
I hit driver about 250, 7wood 170, 7iron 130. My choice of clubs was very much governed by how comfortable I am with them. Thanks for the other advice gord, some good stuff there.
