For what it's worth here are a few more tools that I include due to fairly minimal impact, but are assumed by many 3rd party scripts for example:
rsync unzip wget
And personally I like these for local setup though they add a big more space: ntp elinks lsof nmap denyhosts yum-utils autofs nfs-utils nss_db nss-pam-ldapd nss-tools openldap-clients pam_ldap
