You sound very prepared. The only thing I would add for a suggestion is running an application like FreshApp to make sure you are running the latest and greatest verisons of your application (including shareware). this way if there might have been leopard compatiblity problems with eariler builds of your shareware that might have already been patched due to the developers having plenty of time to get ready for leopard.
