First it does no harm to load modules directly which would be pulled in as
dependency anyways.

ipt_MASQUERADE
iptable_nat

To get more complete information on dependencies you can look at
$ modinfo ipt_MASQUERADE
etc. However to get full information you have to look at
$ cat /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.dep
This gives a complete list of dependencies.
