My purchase list for my new lab -- budget $1000+, thoughts?

tooki:
Yes, those are the ones!

What size what? A banana plug is a standard size (4mm), with a fairly large tolerance for variation since the plugs are springy.

AnyNameWillDo:
Ah okay.

I presume I should get a few red/black/green to match the PSU (3 red 3 black 1 green)

FYI  take a look at these minis

https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/pomona-electronics/3782-36-02/501-1324-ND/736657

see that the wire enters at 45 degrees.   This is a good mini.  I once found some on Aliexpress and they were expensive (seems like $3 ea) and I made some mini to mini cables with 18 ga silicone wire.  They came out nice.

The cheap  minis at 90 degrees are POS.  I threw all mine away.

This is a good way to check quality

You could use the banana to gripper jumpers to power a prototype board by using pin headers in the board.  You don't necessarily have to cut and patch jumpers.

Just look for 0.025' square pin headers.  They usually come with 40 pins and can be cut to length.  I can't find them on Digikey right now but I also buy the 6 pin headers from Digilent

Some gripper clips I have used have a 0.025" opening on the nose for connecting vertically to this type of header.  Not necessary but nice...

Regarding all these connectors, leads, etc: How many of these should I probably be picking up anyhow?

https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/pomona-electronics/3782-36-02/501-1324-ND/736657 looks quite nice (as ez24 linked)... maybe I should just get all my connectors/leads here (haven't ordered any ICs/logic chips/etc yet so I can just pile all of this into the same order and hopefully get free shipping).

Or would it be better to get minigrabber connectors similar to the Pomona banana-plug connectors with the screws to make everything even more modular? (not sure if these even exist) -- I do see individuals here though (filtering on Pomona and Minigrabber):
