So the holidays are coming up, and since I helped order my presents, I know what I'm getting. I want to know what I should put in my bag (aiming for a 10-15 limit) and what each new disc is best at. Thanks so much!
(stars by the new discs)

Years playing/experience: Dg of almost 6 months now
Right/left-handed/ambidextrous: right-handed
Throwing Style: RHBH, some OH, BH rollers
Golf Distance (avg/max) for putter/mid/driver: Yetti: 180/210'; Stingray: 240-270'; Wraith: 275/330'

Bag:

175 Champ Destroyer (10/10)- A slightly faster and more overstable version of the Wraith, my favorite disc. I cant throw it to its max yet, so I've kind of shelved it for now.
*167 Evo Slayer (New)*- It's supposed to be a great disc, I've thrown my friends and I liked it. I haven't thrown it enough to know where to put it though.
167&165 Pro and Star Wraith (8/10 & 10/10)- My favorite discs, I have a pro which is beat up, and it flys crazy predictable. I love that disc, and I have a new star which I'm saving for when the Pro starts to get flippy-er.
*160 DX Wraith (New)*- I think I'll use it as my main flippy driver, with the Pro Wraith bring the stable one, and the Star being the mildly overstable disc of choice.
168 Champ Starfire (9/10)- My primary FH disc. I can get this thing far, and it's a great roller when I want it to be. I also use it for wind cutting BH.
*172 Evo Assassin (New)*- Supposed to be fast, and decently stable.
167 Champ Valkyrie (9/10)- A good reliable slightly understable long flyer.
*171 Evo Apache (New)*- I can't tell the disc's stats, because Gateway re-tooled it and everything is outdated. Gateway says it's super straight.
160 DX Archangel (7/10)- I really like this for hyzer flips, or for far right turning BH
175 Star Leopard (8/10)- Don't really use it, although I know I should.
*170 Evo Sabre (New)*- Straight Fairway

??? Evo Warrior (9/10)- My overstable mid, I LOVE this thing.
175&170 DX&Star Stingrays (7/10)&(10/10)- Its not super beat up yet, so it's a good understable mid. Saving the star for when the DX gets to be a roller.
??? DX Shark (6.5/10)- Amazingly straight, its my precision shot disc.

175 R-pro Pig (9/10)- Great grip, and I like its fade for some putts
165 Pro Yetti Aviar (8.5/10)- Super straight putter
*174&169 Med&Soft Ions (New)*- Im thinking of using the Soft as my driving putter and trying the med as my main putter. Not sure yet.
*174 SS Wizard (New)*- Might also be my main putter, or might drive with it. Not sure on the whole putter situation.

Any suggestions of overlaps in which I should choose one disc/get a new one to fill the gap?

Distance Drivers
Stable-Pro and Star Wraiths
Understable- either the Valk or Apache
Overstable- Starfire
You probably shouldn't be throwing the Wraiths, but if you like them stick with them. The Valk and the Apache are fairly similar in my opinion, the Apache has a bead and may not go quite as far as the valk, but at you distances it should be close.

Fairway
Leopard
Sabre
I found the Sabre to be very similar to a Cheetah, and depending on how well you throw they may overlap alot. I would stongly suggest starting to throw these and work on gainning control, it will help with the distance in the long run.

Mid
Overstable-Warrior
Stable-Shark
Understable- Stingray
In my opinion I'd start to break that Star Stingray in because once that DX finally breaks in all the way there will be a time gap that you will wish you had already broken the stingray in.

Putter
Driving Putter- Soft Ion
Main Putter- Wizard
If you're wanting to try the Ion as your driving putter, I'd suggest that you use the Wizard as your main putter b/c the discs feel very similar, the grip is just nice on the Wizard IMO, making it come out of the hand cleaner.

11 Discs have most of your shots covered. I would suggest picking up a OS fairway driver to go with the Leo/Sabre. The Pig could be thrown in there too for OS putting or approach duties.
