Welcome back J. - and congrats on your new pond!

I think a WE/YP pond with GSH and FHM would be a great fishery. Remember fishing will be tough if WE are the only fish stocked - addition of YP will increase angling success and provide great fillets, too. Heck you could go so far as to stock SMB if you wanted, also. GSH can survive in a pond with SMB/WE/YP as apex predators - they have in mine for several years.

Consider adding additional forage like native MN crayfish or grass shrimp to the mix to help relieve pressure off the GSH. Both are easy to source and won't break the bank.

Keep us in the loop what you end up doing...we need some WE/YP fisheries to study so we can all learn together. I think Bill Cody is the only forum member with a specialized fishery of this kind.
