If you have to ask you can be sure you'll make changes later. That's otally normal.

Ribbons for guitars and drums. AEA R92 and R88.

2 RE20's seems unnecessary... you dont need pairs of mics in most cases. AKG 122? You mean D112? That's a live mic IMO. Use a D12, Beyer M88 or Audix D6.

Every studio needs a Purple MC76/77 or an 1176 of some kind ... and tracking comp like a TT CL-1b and/or a Requisite L2M.

Barefoot MM27s and a B pair of Auratones/NS-10s or some other cheapy midrange/fullrange monitor is preferable to the Adams rig and the M3s. No sub needed, less money, just better and easier. If you room is huge than the MM12s over the M3s still.
