You should get outstanding egg production from the sex links and the Black Australorp. And the Barred Rocks & Speckled Sussex are wonderful layers.

So one of each of those would be ok for a flock I don't need to have two of the same I can just mix and match.
 
Thanks To everyone for the warm welcome any tips and suggestions would be great, I will be ordering my Chicks tomorrow and still undecided on what to get,although I love NorthFl CHicks suggestions.

If I were choosing four from your list I would go with the Black Sex Links, Black Australorps, Buff Orpingtons, and Speckled Sussex. Light Brahmas would be a strong 5th consideration.
