PD170 Audio and Acc. Advise Can't Post

My new PD170 is arriving on Friday, and while I have some time to get to learn it in and out, I am looking for some recommendations on what other PD170 owners are using, especially for audio, but for all accessories in general.

My PD-170P kit includes:
Century-Optics 16:9 anamorphic lens
Samson UHF wireless with Sony ECM-77B lavelier mic
Canon ZR-1000 zoom control
Manfrotto 501/55b
Portabrace rain-slicker, Pelican 1500 case
Sony HDL 20DW2 light, Sony AC-VQ 800 (I think) charger (M and F series) & AC power
Also use 12v 50 & 100W halogen light as needed off-axis to camera powered by sealed lead battery pack
Sony TRV-18E cam as deck - is a little gem, playback DVCam, has mic/lanc inputs, external control for Backlight, exposure,

The EMC1 or whatever model included mic is not very sensitive and not a super-cardioid as I understand, I am looking at ME-66 - but I hear is good handheld for interviews.

PD170
Standard Wide Lens
Sennheiser EW112GP Wireless Kit
515 Sticks / 526 Head Manfrotto W/ Lanc Controller
Sony Light (Dual) works ok
Steadi-stick actually it works pretty good, I like it better than my monopod

The best thing to get for your camera is at least a DSR-11 deck if you don't have one already. Your camera will love you for it..
