Need opinions on my "master fish plan"

Would welcome any advice or thoughts on my "fish plan" below:

1. Plan to quarantine each fish or pair for 2-4 weeks before adding next.
2. 36 gallon bowfront with 15 gallon sump.
3. Take has cycled, CUC eating algae.
4. Water params:
Temp=78.4
SG= 1.024
pH= 8.1
Ammonia=0
Nitrites=0
Nitrates=0
5. I want a peaceful community tank, plan to add softies, mushrooms, etc. much later when tank is seasoned.
------------------------------------------

I want to add these fish in this order:
5 blue-green chromis (chromis viridis)
1 royal gramma
2 percula clowns (mated pair)
1 Flame angel OR 1 Coral beauty
--------------------------------------------
Questions:
1. Is this tank ready for fish?
2. If I want a schooling group of chromis, should I buy and quarantine all 5 at once?
3. Same with the perculas, if I want a mated pair, they need to be bought and quarantined together, right?
4. Is this a good selection for a peaceful tank?
5. Is this the order you would get them? I read to get most aggressive fish last.
6. Is this too many fish for 36 gal if I plan to add soft corals?
7. Do you have a preference, the Flame Angel or Coral Beauty? Why?

Thanks for helping out with your opinions! :)

yes
yes-just dont add them to the tank all at once, maybe 48 hours apart.
yes-wait 1 week after adding the chromis to add the percs
yes
maybe-get the percs last. All damsel family fishes, can be agressive. Doesnt mean they will.
not enough info(how much live rock do you have, what other types of filtration, and do you have any powerheads/reactors).
no opinion.
