Ordering 6 5" Danase CCS pads, which ones?

I got a set of edge pads at the beginning of the summer for my PC since they seemed to get good review here. I found they are very difficult to work with and don't spin very well at all even with no pressure applied with the PC at 6. Fed up, I sold them to a local with a rotary, and decided to try the Danase 5" CCS pads instead. They have a deal for 6 pads for $40, which is a great price IMO. I don't know which pads I need though since there seems to be alot of overlap in cutting, polishing, and finishing pads. I'll be using them almost exclusively on soft Infiniti G35 paint. I already have a full set of 4" pads for heavy spot polishing, so I need something for addressing mostly swirlmarks on the rest of the car. I have the entire Optimum polish line to use with them as well including poliseal.
I was thinking 1 orange(light cutting), 2 greens(heavy polishing), 2 whites(polishing) and a black(finessing) pad. Do you guys think that is enough pads, and are the yellow(cutting) and blue(finishing) pads necessary for a LSP level finish? Is the black pad with poliseal going to leave any marring or will a blue pad be a better pad to use? Also, which pads are used the most in the line, and should I pick up 3 of any pads? I can order more than 6 pads if it is necessary.
TIA

I'm actually about to make the same order. I'm going with 2 orange, 2, green and 2 white. I usually put my wax on by hand and I have more aggresive cutting pads (megs maroon). Your order seems good to me. Let me know how you like them.
