The main thing (I think) is you should put together a system that is reliable, that you understand, and that you're comfortable working on.
Sounds like you have a plan and are well underway. Assuming you considered your other options and picked what suits you best then go for it.
We all have a different way of approaching our projects, here's part of mine...
When modifying and making changes to my truck I think about the next time I'll have to work on that part of it, can I do it easily, can I find parts later on, is it a good and safe system and idea to start with? What can I do differently to use better parts, make it easier to get to and replace, can the whole thing be any simpler to start with?
Sure I've done and redone different parts of the truck already, and it's not "finished" yet.. Among other things I still want to swap the front axle again.. I'm sure I can make it better next time. But as a consequence I've got a lot of time and money in the truck and it's not done yet, or even legal to drive...
But the hope is that it'll be a truck I can keep and easily rebuild as many times as I need to, it should last longer than I'll ever need it, and hopefully will be fun to operate and service. (try that with a new truck)
So whatever your goal is keep it in mind from the beginning.
