This is very inspiring! I'm considering the 33MHz upgrade, but need to build up some confidence in my soldering skills first 
I use System 7.1 on my LC 475 with a couple of extensions to get 7.5ish levels of compatibility with some of the software I use (DragThing, Transmit, etc.) - plus the appropriate System Enabler ofc. I find it to be fast, stable, and uses little RAM (<2MB iirc - I've set the cache to be pretty beefy so can't check exact size now). Also, I have an irrational hate of the 7.5.x "Apple Guide" menubar icon
Extensions
Macintosh Drag and Drop, Dragging Enabler, Thread Manager 2.1, all the Open Transport stuff, the Finder Scripting Extension, and Apple Event Manager (but can't remember if these came with the system or not). You could also add the Appearance Manager!
Control Panels
SetDate, MacTCP, PC Exchange, Power Windows (to show off your extra processor cycles), and SuperClock
