Stocking thought on 250 gallon mixed reef

getting close to starting up a 250 tank, 60Lx36wx27h and putting together a potential fish list. Looking for reef safe fish that won't decimate the pods, snails, hermits and sps. Also concerned about aggression between fish.Did some research but looking for hands on experience for potential problems with the specific fish listed below

Powder blue- can be difficult to acclimate
Yellow tang
Regal or Flame Angel- anyone keeping both? Potential coral nippers
Azure damsel- will the flame or regal pick on it. Ok in a group?
Blue throat trigger- reef safe but unsure about snails & hermits
Candy hog- rearranger of frags, will decimate pod population? Hermit safe?
Threadfin Cardinals for shoaling /schooling effect. Will a group of 7 school?
Leopard wrasse- acclimation issues and voracious pod eaters
Longnose butterfly- any issues with starfish?
Schooling banner fish (diphreutes) - are they truly reef safe? May get too big

Tell me why I should stay away
 
Regals may nip at clams but most likely not corals, flames can be nippers on the other hand and aggressive. Leopard wrasse is a pod eater. Blue throat is reef and snail safe. Azure damsels will not be picked on by the regal and probably not by the flame if the damsels are introduced first. Most fish won't school in our tanks but will loosely shoal. Banner fish get BIG. Long nose BF shouldn't mess with stars. Candy hogs can be real terrors from reading other threads but i suppose you could get one that isn't
