Mizuno MP30, MX-17, MX-20 are all good bats, if you go value wise a set of second hand T-Zoid Comp CT are really good clubs.

I cant argue with your choice of the Callaway X-14's they are quality and ridiculous value these days.

Avoid Nike unless you are buying the forged blades (which are just copies of tigers old titleists, which were copies of his old mizunos)

Your club distances are pretty good so you can probably go with a decent smaller cavity club. If you fancy Taylor Made go for the RAC LT rather than the OS.

As far as snake eyes goes the stuff is top quality, I have a scratch handicap friend who uses their drivers and says its quality gear. The prices are ok i think you can get a set of thie Python heads for $100 they do True Temper Custom Lite Shafts for about $80 a set and a set of quality Golf Pride Grips for about $40 so thats $220 all in plus about $20 for ferrules and grip tape. If you assemble them yourself or know someone who can then thats $240 for a good set of clubs. If you get your pro to assemble them it could be another $100, I dont know what assembly prices are since I do mines myself.

For wedges you cant go wrong with 52, 56 and 60 degree spacing. Vokeys and Cleveland are as good as each other and they are very very good. (As you can imagine im a big fan of Mizuno wedges). Callaways wedges are overrated and basically sell on their name. Snake eyes do wedges as well but again its components. E-Bay do have snake eyes stuff but not a great amount.

Happy Hunting,
