IMO unless you can buy the finishing kit you really want, I'd just go for the cheapest stuff that works and upgrade when you can/want.
Right !

I plan to cycle through the southern states, starting probably in Florida and ending up in San Francisco.
Nice choice, it's my dream to ride the highway one. However as you go to and not from SF you'll be on the mountain side. Don't forget to stop at Mc Way waterfall (Big Sur)
IMO you might need wider tires, US roads are shitty.

I also have terry tellus in 28c, not bad but hard to find at a decent price.
