I wouldn't bother with disc brakes.. might be tricky to find replacement pads, for example.
I used a cheap rack and panniers
Tyres - Big, smooth, thick = good. You're touring not racing and not having to repair punctures is better than faster rubber imho
I would use SPD pedals not flats and carry other shoes (or have mtb spd shoes that you can walk in).. but that's me.
If you are going to swap the saddle, do some riding on the replacement before you start touring!
