I'd go with the coral beauty personally. Unless you're doing a reef, then scratch the angel idea altogether.
The clowns, I'm hoping someone will chime in that knows a bit more about it but there are some species of clown that will not coexist.
Goby is fine, and the mandarin is fine. Although contrary to what some will say you don't need to wait a year. We put one in our 90 after 6 months and he's been fine going on 7 months with him now.

the black and orange clowns can be kept together because they are both false perculas

That's up to you. But angel's not reef safe. You could try the coral beauty or flame, some people have had luck with them in reefs, but there is a risk.
