With all of that you should have more than enough to do basic maintenance with under $80 worth of tools.
As you get more skilled, you'll need some specialized tools for the bottom brackets, headsets, and cones on your wheels but those will vary by type/bike, and in time you will own multiple bikes so buy the tools when you when you need them.
Ah okay, I use this for my bike stuff...you reckon' if i use this it will be awesome?

White Lightning Crystal Grease
You quoted the Speedsolving wiki, which doesn't cite any sources.
MSDS survey for CRC Heavy Duty Silicone, aka what I've seen for sale in my local Wal-Mart, says, contains petrolium distilates. It contains acetone, which is bad for plastic. It contains n-heptane, which is a petrolium distilate. You'll also see that CRC contains 2-5% Polydimethylsiloxane, which would be the silicone lubricant, and 30-40% acetone, which will eat your plastic.
Liquid Wrench also contains several distillates, such as 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, ethylbenzine, and isopropylbenzene. These distilates will evaporate. There are solvents in this product as well.
All of these chemicals listed are potentially harmful for people and plastics (the MSDS sheets for both of these products say to wear proper protection, and not to inhale). I'm not a chemist, but AFAIK, the petrolium distilates listed in each of these products are propellants, and will evaporate somewhat quickly. The main problem with CRC, which seems to be ignored, or a non-problems, is that it contains acetone, which is a solvent. It can be used to carry a lubricant, but it will also damage plastics (see CrazyBadCuber's video where he tries to dye a stickerless Zhanchi to make it competition-legal, he softens and mars the plastic with a home-made acetone dye). CRC also has a reputation for damaging cubes over time, softening the plastic, leading to deforming the puzzle. I'm sure if more people used Liquid Wrench, they would see the exact same problems.
After checking all of this out to try to help, and to understand it all a bit better myself, I'd say avoid the spray lubes, and just buy a bottle of traxxas/tube of lubicle/lubix/whatever else. The sprays are mostly propellants and solvents, and maximum 7% lubricant.
There may be more to it, but based on this, I would say avoid canned sprays like the plague. Everything I found just now says they are hazardous to your health if used improperly. Some people (I think Feliks Zemdegs among them, to give this some authority) use them successfully, but I personally wouldn't risk my puzzles with these products. The MSDS sheet states that CRC Silicone is dangerous if consumed, so why would I put that on a toy I'll be handling regularly with my bare hands?
If you really need something you can buy in a store, buy a tube of White Lightning Crystal Grease. It's non-toxic, food-safe, and very effective. It's thicker than Traxxas 50k, though so a little dab'll do ya. It was the first thing I ever used on a Rubik's brand, and it worked fine.
