Depends on what you currently have
Question: are any of these purchases upgrading a current machine (6”->8” jointer)? Or are they all net new?
Given the price point for some of these tools, I’d be negotiating with myself to see if I could step down the requirements slightly and get two used items on the list. Assuming you have a planer and solid dust collection setup, my vote would be for a long-bed 6” Jointer and a bandsaw.
I have a 6” long bed jointer, and I can handle lumber up to about 8-9” wide, which is more than enough for my needs. And the bandsaw is pretty useful for re-sawing lumber and pattern cutting furniture pieces.

What did you decide on OP? I am on a tool buying hiatus so I need to live vicariously.
