Most of those things are a good idea, even if not completely necessary (a lot of it, like shielded cable, is necessary, in my opinion).
Steel cable ties sound like a bad idea (assuming you're talking about the zip tie type... I imagine that would tend to cut through cables). If you've had problems with guy wires rusting, then I would probably look into stainless steel, but I think galvanized is generally fine... I'm certainly not an expert on that subject though.
