Re: wire binding
In reality you don't really NEED any of that stuff. The BIA is a AWESOME tool, but you don't need much more than that. The only tool I'd say was a must have is some kind of wire-cutters (they look like pliers, I got one in a dollar store), so that you can easily cut the binding wires to the length you need. Covers and pages are really only paper and chipboard that you are paying someone to cut for you. Why do that when I'm sure you already have a perfectly good paper trimmer of your own? Buy a few sheets of plain chipboard to cut down for covers from your LSS and you're set!

Re: wire binding
I use 1/2 & 3/4 the most, but if you are binding lots of chipboard pages you might need wider. The zutter site (www.zutterzisters.com) recommends chosing a ring that is at least 1/8 to 1/4" wider than your finished project.
One accessory I do use is the space bar add-on ( http://www.binditall.com/Accessories.html ). It places the holes closer to the edge of the page so that they turn without rubbing each other inside the smaller rings. It is only $3 with shipping.
The new version is only $10 more than the older one, and it allows you to punch more sheets of paper or chipboard at a time, so it could be worth it if you do many books or thick books.
