Default 100k service coming up

Hey guys I have an 06 Wrx that is soon due for a 100k service. Currently at 93k I was planning on doing it in 5000km a little early as I'm selling the car off. I plan to get a workshop to do the labour but sourcing the parts myself. Cos I work at super cheap auto, I get a pretty decent discount on everything we stock and can get from suppliers. Hence me trying to source myself.
Anyways I was just wandering what brands were good for the different parts i've listed below of the service , apart from oem which I will use happily if I can't justify an alternative.
Green means ill be using, Red means open for other suggestions, and ? Means no clue what to use, meaning please help haha.

Engine oil: royal purple 10w40
Oil filter: ryco
Fuel filter: ryco
Timing belt: Gates racing
Water pump:Bosch
Cam seals:?
Crank seal:?
Drive belts: Bosch
Idler pulley: ?
Tensioner and seals: ?
Gearbox oil: Royal purple what spec do i need?
Diff oil:Royal purple what spec do i need?
Spark plugs: ngk iridiums
Upper engine cleaner: ? The hell is that?
Brake fluid: Penrite orcastrol
P/s fluid:Penrite or castrol
Coolant: Tectaloy

So yeah hopefully im headed in the right direction if not please advise. Any and all helpis greatly appreciated.

Im currently using castrol edge titanium 5w40 which i get for like $54 at work rrp ~ $75.90 i think..

Are genuine filters cheaper than ryco?

Oil filter is rrp $12.95 i can get for $10. If genuine isnt muc more than that il go genuine oil and fuel filters. See the reason i wanna use royal purple starting from 100k is so i can keep sticking to that oil every service until it goes, so im sorta like sayin, i WAS using good shit, NOW im using great shit from 100k...its hard to explain without soundin retarded...

This.... your timing belt isn't due for another 25000k's, so why bother replacing it? Especially if your selling the car.
Same goes for driveline and fuel filter, doesn't need to be done.
Definitely use genuine coolant, designed for Subaru cooling system components.
I know your trying to save money, but genuine parts are always the best choice, some aftermarket oil filters have been known to leak because of the very high oil pressure in EJ engines at cold start.

And don't forget the upper engine cleaner (part no SA459) and fuel additive (part no SA718)

Would have done a standard waterpump, standard coolant, and redline shockproof g/box oil.

Definitely upper engine cleaner from Subaru also.

UEC from Subaru.
Genuine filters.
Subaru use Mobil oil 10w40.
Castrol DOT4 for brake fluid.

I prefer TOTAL personally for everything, engine, diffs, etc
