2.3 Tune Up

I am about to do a full tune up and such on my 93 prelude with a 2.3 and 5 speed tranny. I plan to change the timing belt, balancer belt, the tensioner pullies, water pump, thermostat, cam seals, oil pan gasket, new axles (should I get these from auto zone, or napa since the boots are torn and I figured for 50 bucks I can just buy remaned axles), new clutch/flywheel, brake rotors and brake pads. I have a list of questions which I will try to keep them numbered and in order so I do not make it difficult:
1.) Am I missing anything that I should change for the tune up, etc since I have 164,000 miles?
2.) Where is the best place to buy these parts, I was looking at Import Replacement Parts but not sure if their OE timing belts, tensioners and water pump are good since they seem to be about 20 bucks cheaper than Majestic Honda - The Internet's #1 Honda Automotive Parts Store
3.) On the brakes, I was looking at different slotted rotor brands... EBC, Brembo and Power Slot. Can I mix EBC front rotors with Power Slot rears and then run the same AEM pad or what would you guys recommend here?
4.) I'd like to get slotted and/or drilled but what would you guys prefer and which brands on the rotors and pads?
5.) Can you turn drilled or slotted rotors on a brake lathe? If not then do you usually have to replace the rotors ever brake job?

Sorry for all the questions guys! I will start off with these 5 first and then ask a few more I'm sure after they are answered. I need to buy these parts ASAP! Any recommendations on where to buy them online is appreciated too, it would be nice to purchase it all from one or two stores.
Thanks!

uhh oil, plugs and wires? Dont forget the easy shyt too lol.

get auto zone axles because theyre lifetime warranty. I would get an OEM Honda timing belt. Tensioner and pump dont matter as much because your motor doesnt go boom (right away anyway) if they fail. Doesnt matter if you mix rotors front and back although that may look retarded. No you cant turn slotted or drilled rotors on a lathe but they are far less prone to warping. I personally dont like drilled rotors because Ive heard of them cracking easier. The slotted look looks more then good enough to me IMO. Looks nice but not like youre trying to hard with stock brakes lol. Dont expect to notice an actual difference in stopping power though. Unless youre running a road course or something its purely for looks. I got about 50000 miles out of a set of cheapo slotted rotors on my F150. You can usually find good deals on Ebay for stuff like the rotors. For OEM type stuff I use rockauto.com. Best parts site ever with the best prices.
