You need a 3-die (at minimum) to load the 9x19. Something like this:

MidwayUSA - Lee Carbide 3-Die Set 9mm Luger

The Factory Crimp die isn't necessary (some like it, some don't). But the three die set includes an expanding die and bullet seat/crimp die. You need both to handload in addition to the sizing die.

I would skip pretty much everything on your optional list except perhaps the primer pocket cleaner (and even that isn't necessary for handgun cartridges most of the time). I would add the 3-die set as listed above and a powder scale.
