I would say you managed to gather and collect data pretty well, and as I can see, you really mentioned some of the best tools for many different purposes. I personally really prefer Ahrefs before other tools, but as it's a bit costly, sometimes we have to look at some alternatives. Ubersuggest and SEMRush are the second-best for keyword research. For links analysis, I would add Moz as well as they give pretty accurate results. For the site's performances part, there isn't a better tool than Search Console as you'll find anything you need here, so I would rely on it for detecting some sites and ranking issues.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree, Ahrefs is the one-stop-shop. Maybe I didn't do enough research on Moz but they seem to pull their stats from other places which made me second guess their accuracy - do you think Moz offers anything that the rest on this list don't?
