timing belt tensioner, idler pulley in addition to everything you listed above.

If you haven't yet, have them do the balljoint recall while you're there.

I don't think regrinds are an option here. Sounds like you're on a budget and just want the peace of mind. In such case, i'd replace:

water pump
timing belt
idler pulley
timing belt tensioner and pulley
cam seals (if you can afford it and they're not gonna charge extra)

Install the plugs and wires yourself. Have Satan install the UDP while they've go the stock pulley off, and see if you can talk them into installing the cam gears if they do the cam seals.

And, of course.. make sure they do the balljoint recall if you haven't had it done already.
