I second going more minimalist on your USE flags for the installation,
then adding the rest of what you want after the system is up.  That
way, you won't be installing a bunch of extra things with the system
metapackage, which will lead to a smaller initial install (and
faster).  For instance, I have never seen samba be a required
installation, which means it is part of your USE variable.
