You can get SH3 to run as high as your video card and monitor will support if you use the "dx9 resolutions" mod. I use 1280x1024, 4 AA & 4 AF and have zero jags without having a slide show (ATI X800XT PE).
You two basic mods are RUB 1.45 and IUB 1.02. RUB 1.45 concentrates on "Realism" where IUB 1.02 (has RUB 1.44 incorporated into it) also has the additional "eye candy". IUB 1.02 also has a lot of your other mods you mentioned already included (read the IUB Readme and you will see all the mods included).
HT 1.47 has the standalone or RUB 1.45 version, but IUB 1.02 only has the HT 1.46 included with even a heavier harbor traffic option.
JSME and 1.4b are manditory to even start. With JSME, you can add or subtract the mods you want to try (just never in the middle of a patrol unless you want to lose that saved career) and see what you like.
I started out with RUB 1.44, upped to IUB 1.02 when it came out and have gone back to RUB 1.45 until IUB 1.03 comes out. The reason that I am using a modified RUB 1.45 at the moment is that is has some things IUB 1.02 does not have and HT 1.47 works with RUB 1.45 too.
Good luck on your new adventures.
