Do you really need a 15 pan of highlights?  I would just get a variety of browns, nudes and highlights for the first 15 pan palette.  When you get a second pan, then transfer the highlights to the second palette.  This way your first palette is more versatile.

 

I don't know how much help I would be picking colors because I tend to go for the limited edition shades first.  Plus, I love shimmer shades so I mostly have those.  I'm trying to push myself to buy more basics and crease shades.  That being said, I have recently added Patina and All that Glitters to a 4 pan and like those.  I also like Soft Brown for blending crease colors.

 

Of the shades on your list, I also have:

  • Satin Taupe
  • Tempting
  • Retrospeck

 

When I first started buying Mac ('90s) I bought Swiss Chocolate and never used it.  So I would check that one out in person. 

 

edit - forgot what I said about Arena. I think I was thinking of a different shade.

I'm NC50, so I couldn't really tell you which shades would look best with your skin tone, but while I have most of these shadows, I've bolded my absolute favorites.

IMO...Saddle e/s is an absolute must-have.  It is my go to crease color and I use it in just about every look.  You have Haux under browns, but it tends to pull more toward plum...it's not a true brown.  Great shade none the less. Quarry has similar properties...I would swatch the two to compare...you probably don't need both.
