Hi, Chris.

For limited presence (hence low management time) I think avoiding LMB & BG may be a good approach.

HSB, WE, SMB, RES, (FHM) - may be light on forage species, depending on predator numbers. Have you considered YP or Golden Shiners? I'm assuming SMB will probably breed, WE will probably not, HSB definitely not. What numbers are you thinking?

I have RES/SMB/a few HSB planned for my next pond, thinking the HSB presence will be mostly grow-out of fingerlings to get them big enough to transplant in my other pond.
