    I'd recommend:

    1) Headspace 2
    2)Replace WP-Version
    3) User Locker
    4) WordPress Database Backup
    5) WP Security Scan

    And then consider some addition plugins like tippy for aesthetics

    The only wordpress plugin that I really recommend is the sitemap generator - it "pings" the search engines and notifies them when you update your page.

    As for the all in one seo package - wordpress has enough SEO feature built in, I dont think an extra plugin is really needed.

    For spam comments - I recommend ReCaptcha and the "Stop Forum Spam" modifications. Between both of those, your spam comments should be almost 0.

    WP-PageNavi
    WordPress Database Backup
    SexyBookmarks - best looking social bookmark plugin, IMO
    wordTube - great for your own video content but can use YouTube's API as well; playlist option is nice

    Its the Google sitemap generator from this page - http://www.arnebrachhold.de/

    I have been using it now for about 18 months. Everytime you update your site, the script rebuilds the sitemap and notifies Ask.com, Google, MSN Search and YAHOO of the changes.

    I recommend Breadcrumb NavXT and Share This. Both are a great boost to your SEO efforts.

    In addition to the ones already mentioned I would recommend:

    Scaleable Contact Form - Contact form you can use anywhere on your blog and also add more fields.
    Sociable - adds social bookmarking icons to all your posts and pages.
    Tweetmeme Button - Adds a re-tweet button either at the top or the bottom of every post & page.
    WP-TwitterBadge - adds a sliding 'follow me' twitter badge to your blog.
    Subscribe to Comments - Allows commenters to sign up for e-mail notification of future comment entries.

    Disagree with ~kev~
    Yes wordpress SEO is already better than you are going to find on any CMS or website creator. If you want to make the extra difference that puts you ahead of the pack, you need All In One SEO

    I love Wordpress Database Backup as a plugin all together since everyday I get a email with my database backup so if something should go wrong I'll lose nothing which is big for me since its happened once already.

    What is "irobot.txt SEO" ? I use RobotsMETA plugin - are they the same? They sound similar..

    In addition to the other plugins you use (except Cumulus and Cforms), I use the following:

    – Backend Plugins

    • Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. You need a WordPress.com API key to use it. You can review the spam it catches under "Comments."
    • AntiVirus for WordPress is a smart and effective solution to protect your blog against exploits and spam injections
    • Google Analyticator adds the necessary JavaScript code to enable Google’s Analytics. After enabling this plugin visit the page and enter your Google Analytics’ UID and enable logging.
    • MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer saves your wordpress blog from getting tagged as ping spammer by not ‘pinging’ when you edit a post or too often.
    • SEO Super Comments allows you to use your blog comments to get more traffic.
    • Smart 404 rescues your viewers from site errors! When content cannot be found, Smart 404 will use the current URL to attempt to find matching content, and redirect to it automatically.
    • WordPress Exploit Scanner scans your WordPress site for possible exploits.
    • WordPress File Monitor monitors your website for added/changed/deleted files
    • Wordpress Firewall blocks suspicious-looking requests to WordPress.

    – Social Media & ‘Stickiness’ Plugins

    • Add To Facebook adds a footer link to add the current post or page to a Facebook Mini-Feed.
    • Facebook Sharecount shows the number of shares on Facebook your posts get and allows users to share it themselves.
    • LinkWithin displays recommended stories and associated thumbnails from your blog
    • SexyBookmarks adds a (X)HTML compliant list of social bookmarking icons to each of your posts.
    • Social Media Page generates a list of social media profiles on a given page or as a widget.
    • Subscribe To Comments allows readers to receive notifications of new comments that are posted to an entry.
    • The Wordpress Bar creates a navigation bar for all external links outside of blog. Also features social network links such as Facebook, Twitter, Digg, and FriendFeed.
    • TweetMeme Retweet Button adds a button which easily lets you retweet your blog posts
    • Twitterlink Comments shows a link to follow the comment author on twitter if they have entered in their username at least once in the comment form
    • WP-DownloadManager adds a simple download manager to your WordPress blog.
    • WP-PageNavi adds a more advanced paging navigation to your WordPress blog.
      [*]WP likes allows visitors to "like" your posts on the fly if they find it interesting.
    • Yet Another Related Posts Plugin returns a list of related entries based on a unique algorithm for display on your blog and RSS feeds.
    • Yoast Breadcrumbs outputs a fully customizable breadcrumb path.

    – Other Plugins I use

    • Enhanced WP-ContactForm (I hate Cforms, but Cforms is better than this one so stick with it if you don't find it as confusing as I did!) Enhanced WP Contact Form is a drop in form for users to contact you. In the message it sends to you it gives the page the user visited before the contact page, as well as the original outside referrer.
    • Favicon Generator allows you to upload an image file of your choosing to be converted to a favicon for your WordPress site. (My Post)
    • EzineArticles Autoposter automatically post articles related to topics/keywords of your choice from EzineArticles.com, on a predefined schedule. This plugin is perfect to add guest bloggers or expert articles to your niche blog. But also perfect for posting to your drafts for collecting ideas for what to post about.
    • Get The Image is a highly intuitive script that can grab an image by custom field input, post attachment, or extracting it from the post’s content.
    • Global Translator automatically translates a blog in 41 different languages by wrapping four different online translation engines (Google Translation Engine, Babelfish Translation Engine, FreeTranslations.com, Promt).
    • Recently Popular displays the most popular posts based on history from now to X amount of time in the past.
    • Text Hover adds hover text to regular text in posts. Handy for providing explanations of names, terms, phrases, and acronyms mentioned in your blog.
    • WP-PostViews enables you to display how many times a post/page had been viewed.

    Premium Wordpress Plugins I use:

    • MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate automatically convert keywords on your blog into money making affiliate links. Also manage, track, cloak and shorten unlimited number of affiliate links from one central location of Maxblogpress Ninja Affiliate.
    • JS-Kit Comment System is a fully-featured commenting system with powerful pre- and post- moderation capabilities, automatic spam blocking, RSS feeds, threading, pagination and sorting of comments, and much more.

    Addons I use:
    • Facebook Connect
    • MyBlogLog Widget
    • BlogCatalog Widget
    • Facebook Fan Page
