Welcome:
Personally - do the oil+Filter, air filter, plugs and belt. You'll be in the $200 range here. This will give you a good tour of the motor and a good base to do the other things.
Then drive it a while to feel out the next things to tackle

If the plug tubes aren't seeping do you really need to change. Same with the Coils. If there aren't misses or codes being thrown.
I have a couple tubes starting to seep so I'll have to tackle that soon

Of course if you have the extra dollars, when doing the plugs, you'll have everything apart and jacked up, so doing the coils, tubes and plugs together saves a repeat visit and the prep needed to get to the plugs

Sometime the prep work (jacking, removing underside panels, fender liners, engine cover, etc) can be as time consuming as the repair itself
