I would lose all the digi weapons. They are all over costed and just plain poor. The credits are better spent in photo goggles ,at the delaque discount, or infra sights you really need them in the first half of the campaign. Also lose the leaders light carapace and give him mesh and a undershirt for the same armour save for half the cost.
The mono sight on the specialists web gun has no use whatsoever. It adds to hit rolls on a aim action but the web gun is a template weapon so has no hit roll. Also unless your arbiter has allowed trade post access initially at gang creation the specialist can not take the undersuit to start with.
Unfortunately for delaque thier ghosts can't take armoured undersuits at creation and for this campaigns first half where you have no access to your house equipment list in trade actions and a -4 penalty for trade actions means that unless you roll high good equipment is scarce a few more ghosts on the roster would be advisable. While the succession missions have small crew sizes fighters in recovery will soon add up and since gangs han not hire new fighters or hangers on in the first half you may struggle in the later two campaign cycles of to put enough bodies on the field. You have a budget of 2000 so getting a roster of 10+ should be achievable even with a few extra toys. Without undersuits on the ghosts you could squeeze a extra on or two in thier to keep the crew numbers up.
The constant pitch black rules and ash wastes weather in the campaign make the first half particularly hazardous for all gangs so you need to plan ahead for them, cheap delaque photo goggles and respirators.
