I have considered these options in order of importance for me. Prices are approx. 

Memory:        StarboardII 2M ($370) and perhaps a 2nd SBII (solid pass-thru)
SCSI Adapter:  Supra SCSI ($200), SBII SCSI ($100,slower), CLtd(no support?)
Hard Disk:     30M SCSI for $300 is okay. Need case and power ($70)
               A590 works fine (front-to-back) includes SCSI adapter
Kickstart:     Amazing Computing article or Quickstart (maybe even 2.0 ROM)
Accelerator:   LUCAS/FRAN kit 68020/68881 4M 32-bit RAM (hard to use with above)

               
1M chip RAM/   Rejuvinator($400), DVSWonder(vaporware, forget it)
Video Slot:    Rejuvinator (If you really need these, get a A2000)
MS-DOS PC:     Sidecar (use Insider or Inboard for Amiga RAM and PC hard disk)

You might also consider a Toolbox or other expansion box for A2000 cards,
if you make sure it works and upgrade is important.

Just my opinions and experiences.              .....BJ
